I don't know, maybe I'm a little paranoid, but I wash the primer tray, shell holder and ram on my Lee Auto Prime after every use.

I clean my RL550B priming system every time I change primer sizes. It works out to about once or twice a month.

When I get a dirty primer feed tube, which isn't very often, I take a cleaning rod with a 17 caliber or 22 caliber brush on it and give it several swipes.

Give it to a democrat and let them use it as a straw...up their nose or in their drinkable Coke.

That should get it pretty clean don't ya think?
