What brand do you guys use. Any good or bad luck with one or the other? I need to replace the one Im using, it was giving to me years ago and doesnt have a brand name on it.

I've been using the RCBS SS wire brush pocket cleaner for years. In fact, I just bought another one. As far as the flash hole goes, I use a nail of the right diameter to clean it out if it should be plugged, which I rarely find.

thats what I use too, the only problem is after so many, the wire brushes get bent out at funky angles. Theyre cheap though so replacing isnt too costly. I also use a nail when retrieving my casing from the tumbler to get the media out of the flash hole .

Sinclair makes a very nice one. For the pockets, and the flash hole. Tom.

I also use the RCBS wire brush but find the bristles are to coarse. Sure wouldn’t mind getting something else. Just might have to look into that Sinclair tool...

I have always use the wire wisk from RCBS to clean out residue, but started recently using a lymans flash hole deburr. It has seem to make more consistent loads, but who knows. Another toy.

Thanks for the replys, the stores near me dont have much in stock and its hard just looking at the pics from midway and grafs to see what looks good.

Duckbutter48,

I use the Lyman flash hole deburring tool. It makes them uniform and cleans up the inside burr from being punched. I just chuck it up in a cordless and very slowly clean the hole. It is just basically a #1 center drill pressed in a stell shaft with a tapered cone for centering. The RCBS wire brushes are ok. By the way I grew up in Cumberland, MD. Left in 1980 when I joined the military.

Cumberland, MD. It is a small world. I deer hunt in Orleans, MD. At the base of Sidling Hill. Sidling Hill Creek flows through the farm that we hunt. Tom.

I guess that I am the only one who uses the Lee tools to do these tasks. It doesnt get them spotless, but does get the majority of the junk out and I doubt that it will ever wear out by doing its given task.
