Im reloading 308win on a Dillon 650.
Was wondering, do you guys get anal about cleaning primer pockets? Reloading on a single stage I was anal about it. But does it affect accuracy?

I don't fool with it, tumbling with ss pins for 3 hours gets them 99% clean.
 
I sonic clean my brass & they get nice & clean in the process anyway
 
I do it. Lyman case prep center, primer pocket cleaner, champfer, debur, neck brush in that order, every firing. Takes about 7 minutes to do all of that to 100 cases so it doesn't seem like a bother. Trick is to swap hands when you flip the case over so that the free hand is always grabbing another piece of brass or putting the finished brass away.
 
I use the RCBS uniforming tool after every firing. Definitely makes the primer seating depth more uniform... whether it makes any difference at all is another story...
