I've been using my K&M primer pocket correction tool to clean my small rifle primer pockets lately. The tool is still factory set at .122 depth. This includes Lapua .223, 6BR and 6PPC (220 Russian) brass. On most the brass it leaves a little carbon behind, right around the flash hole. At first I would use my RCBS primer pocket cleaning tool to get the rest of the carbon out, but have since quit as it seems just a little too anal, even for me.
What does everyone else do? How clean do they need to be?
