Al my rifle reloads get the primer pocket cleaned, as a accuracy factor. When i look at the finished primer pockets in varying brass, they appear to differ. Imo, leaving ash in the primer pocket can contribute to primer pocket seating irregularity because the ash depth is irregular. All the pistol reloads get their pockets cleaned at least every other loading, to help insure the primer goes off on consistent basis, as more of a safety factor.
To each their own, and all our reasons for reloading may differ. Given the costs, am no longer making rounds just to burn through.
