#1. How important is it to get them all the way clean? Is it enough to smooth out the built-up gunk with a lee primer pocket tool as long as the new primers sit flush, or could the chemicals left behind react with the new primers to prevent ignition? I'm making sure the flash hole is clear, I just want to be sure I don't actually have to get the primer pocket like-new clean.
#2. Is there any reason tumbling resized, primerless brass in a tumbler with a polishing compound is a bad idea. Once again I'm concerned that a chemical residue in the primer pocket could react with the new primers to prevent ignition.
#3. Is there a better way to get the primer pockets clean?
FYI I'm using Federal primers and MFS brass to reload .45acp.
Thanks in advance.
