Primer pockets and cleaning

I just recently purchased the Tippmann 9mm Gatlin gun. 1st trip, 350 rounds. 2nd trip was 600. 

I am not a corner cutter in any way, but cleaning primer pockets has become a chore reloading such a hungry child. Without asking if they should always be cleaned. My question is: What is the best solution for soaking and cleaning after they have been de-capped and resized? I have been using Dawn, vinegar, and lemon-shine. Then the tumble polish with fine Hornady media. Half of the 950 rounds have been my reloads and not one problem. I'm just open for ideas on the best primer pocket soak and clean. 

Yep, in truth. Cutting corners but curious on ideas. Lots of reloading skills are overkill and meant to be that way for safety. I get that and I do respect it. I guess this is a chemical question at its best.  

Thanks to all for any input. 

Defiantly not my goal with massive reloading on a single stage press. Do it right and call it good. I was just being cautious for primer pocket buildup. The Gatlin is a hoot, but its not and accurate machine, but does indeed cover some space compared to a lifting full auto rifle. You crank it, it will jiggle and also shoot as fast as you crank it. I hope to toss in a few pics. I loved the Gatlin, but had to have my own look and idea. 24" wood spoke wheels compared to the 10" rubber tires.  

Hey Lightning,

For your needs I highly recommend purchasing an RCBS Trim Mate Case Prep Center. ~ $190.  Plug into the wall motor driven!!  Get a Lee Case Conditioning Combo (Part #90950) which screws into the Trim Mate.  Also a Lee Case Length Guage Shell Holder (Caliber specific) which screws onto the top of the Lee Case trimmer.  Screw the deburring/chamfering/case inside brush and pocket brush onto the trim Mate.  Now you are set:  Plugge'er in, switch it on and insert the cleaned/de-primed brass onto inside brush cleaning brush, then to trimmer apparatus so to length-trim to SAAMI specs, then pocket cleaner, then to deburring, then to chamfer.  (All w/ one hand while other hand holds on to a beer!!)  The entire process takes 12-14 seconds per case and ready to reload. 

Time saver.  I think Rebel90 has one and thinks it better'n sliced bread.  Right Rebel?

If you want a photo of mine send me a PM and I'll do so.

I have been reloading for years and good with the single stage press for what I normally do. 50 to 100 rounds max at a time. This was an impulsive purchase and loads of fun, but I'm sure it will not be a keeper for long. So investing for progressive presses and other time saving tools would be short lived as well. It's just not in the $ thinking to improve for this fun and exciting Gatlin only. It has also been my first stab at 9mm. It is a forgivable round with case trim length within specs plus or minus a little. I'm real picky on case length and crimp when I load my M1 carbines. Or anything that is subject to a mag loaded recoil semi-auto. 

This Gatlin weighs in at 68 pounds and 8 barrels. So in some way or form. It's like a single shot and I don't fret the perfect crimp value that I get with a factory crimp, which is again, another step. All get a little taper crimp, some just better than others due to the slight difference in case length. It does not seem to mind at all since I have already ran over 400 reloads through it. I was just concerned with passing on with the one by one primer pocket clean. I prepped and cleaned 400 cases. I even skipped the tumble process for pretty. Ready to load and the pockets look good. I foresee no problems and time has been saved. Many thanks again. OCD might be good and have its place, but it can also get in the way at times. Safety is the key, and I feel fine with what my choices are. Thanks again to all for your input. It has been very helpful. 

Bottom line: I do think it will end up a keeper once the new wears off and the hungry child spends more time at home for display. All in passing and the excitement is for now. Got a large plant that is going south and the perfect place for CRANKY. We all love to learn and play.     

Gatlin - Gatling? I stand corrected. Richard Jordan Gatling is correct. 

No promises if I will ever be able to correct my Kansas lingo which is born and bread and also the lack of true discovery. I plan to warsh my truck later. Too funny.  I blame my parents. 

I might have used 25-cents loosely, but with tax and free ship surely 27-28 cents. I got 1,000 rounds not long ago for free ship. Good stuff too. S&B SB9A and Winchester Service Grade. You can find lesser junk for a little less.

I figure 9 for a bullet, 10 for a primer and 5 for the powder. At even 27-cents a round off the shelf it’s close to a wash to me.
