Poll- do you clean primer pockets?
I'm running a poll to continue the endless debate on whether or not cleaning primer pockets is worthwhile... Feel free to participate if you want.

Depends.
Personal ammunition: Unless it's for a match where I could win money, hell no.
Commercial ammunition: Always.

deprime before tumbling, if that qualifies as cleaning primer pockets, then yes on all brass.

.45 ACP = yes, because of the different primer sizes that have been showing up in my brass.
I use a large primer pocket cleaner to catch the SPP cases, because they really all look the same after a while, especially during sorting just after tumbling.

Yes to both! I'm not a high volume reloader usually 20 to 50 rounds per loading period so I clean all pockets! Is it a PITA yes, but it does mkes for better rounds. Never had a dud round because of it!

Depends on what you mean by clean. Since rifle brass gets lubed before decapping/sizing, and then tumbled again (to remove the lube), the pockets might get cleaned a little...but I don't do any specific pocket cleaning.
In fact, I'm considering removing the decapping pin from my rifle sizing dies (I have a universal decapper in my loading tool head) so I don't have to worry about the possibility of tumbling media getting stuck in the pockets. Anyone do that? If the primers are properly seated, they shouldn't interfere with trimming on a trimmer that trims based on brass OAL, should they?

Like most, rifle rounds yes, handgun rounds no.
