50bmg primer pockets

[Outlaw45]

Starting to reload 50 bmg. What you use to clean the primer pockets?

Stainless steel media.

Ultrasonic with 50/50 vinegar water mix works.

No sort of brush like the RCBS I use for large and small primers?

I haven't seen a good brush yet. I use a nice little flat blade screwdriver that I put to the grinder until it fit perfect.

I'm not sure Lyman still makes these, but if they do it is the best money spent on 50 reloading.

I have a few cassings left from when I had one. The stainless steel media is the way to go.

I hadn't planned on tumbling the brass everytime. Sounds like that what everyone does to clean them out.

I saw Midwayusa had listed that Lyman tool, but it's status was "coming soon." That's exactly what I was looking for.
