[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1913636, member: 2736"] If you buy good brass, the primer pocket should allow the primer to seat flush. I use the primer pocket prep tool only once if the primer is not allowed to seat deep enough. I don't want the primer to move or lose it's seal so good clean tight fitting primers that are flush are my goal. As I am priming, I check each primer for a flush fit. If it does not fit flush, I set it aside and de prime the ones I set aside and remedy those problems. If the pocket is to deep, I discard that piece of brass or use it for a bullet seating depth gauge without a primer in it. I used to clean the pockets with a tool and found I was removing pocket wall and reducing primer pocket life. Now with the pin tumbler the pockets come clean with little effort and case life is better. With that said, flush is my recommendation. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
