[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1182229, member: 33822"] I am a little unconventional when it comes to cleaning primer pockets. With brand new brass I like to use a Redding Primer Pocket Uniformer tool with the included #8-32 threaded shank in my power drill. Each time I fire the brass I still use the Uniformer tool, but I simply use just enough hand pressure on the case to scrape out the powder residue. I have never liked those primer pocket cleaning flat screwdriver looking tools. The primer pockets never seem to be perfectly flat like the tool, and they never get the pockets clean to my satisfaction. I would guess that my uniformed primer pockets would be flat enough to use the cleaning tool, but I like how fast using the power drill is with the uniformer tool. Even when I get a bit of brass out along with the powder residue, I have never found this to be any kind of detriment. I am getting about a dozen firings out of my brass including my max pressure 338 RUM cases, along with excellent accuracy to the last firing. And to clean the outside of the cases, I will either use fine steel wool to lightly polish off the dirt, or sometimes I just use isopropyl alcohol on a rag to wipe clean the outside of case. Both seem to work just fine. [/QUOTE]
