Spud, as I neck size and deprime in the same operation I always clean the cases first so the neck is clean and I do not grind carbon into the sizing bush or neck. These days I never tumble anything so I use a worn out kitchen scourer to clean the neck then PB brush the inside (with a cordless drill) Then neck size with a TiNi bush and a tiny wipe of Imperial.

Then uniform the pocket.

No pies in that appliance methinks.

Spud wrote "a little tool for cleaning the media from a tumbler out off the primer pocket flash hole" I find that a matchstick works well enough.

Try a dubbing needle for removing stuck media.
It's used in fly tying. Only a couple of quid

I used to make my own with handles made out of old end sections of split cane rods. Come to think of it I had more fun making things like that and fly tying than catching the fish....

Another SHED item in the pipeline...
Make it shiny
Obviously need them in small and large pocket sizes as well


(My old man made his tools when he got the watch repairing bug after he was demobbed. Made a lot of tools, took a few watches apart. Don't think he got round to putting any together again, though.)

I made lots of tools for fly tying and got as far as modifying my vice but not building one from scratch.

Nothing I have every thing I need to make any caliber of full bore ammo for any gun I shoot.
I have every thing I need to cast resize and re load for any caliber of gun I shoot.

Its taken me years to get it all to gether I have wasted a lot of money along the way trying to do it on the cheap etc.(Lee is pap)

But I finally seen the light and invested in the best kit I could afford and now I can crank out any round I want with ease.

A quality single station press is the way to go.
