Winchester primer pockets should be cleaned with a brush as the bottoms (as seen from the primer's view) are slightly concave.
I used to be a Lapua fan, but now I'm a Nosler fan. I'd be a Federal fan if they sold brass as components and the price was less than the Nosler. The Nosler brass I have used was near perfect out of the box, fire formed to my chambers on the first outing, and did not need to be trimmed until after the 3rd resizing. That's 4 firings. I read somewhere that Nosler claims to get 38 loadings from a case. They did not say how many times they annealed it or after how many firings.
