They are several things you can or may have to do. If the brass is military or has a primer crimp, you'll have to get rid of the crimp. I swage all of mine. I use the rcbs kit which basically opens up the primer pocket, for lack of a better term. No cutting invloved there. Only has to be done once for the life of the case.

After that you can true up the primer pocket, which involves cutting the pocket to a consistent depth. Slip the cutter into a drill (don't try to do it by hand, you'll never get done and you'll have forearms that would make Popeye jealous.) You only have to do this once for the life of the case.

Don't forget the flash hole. Might as well clean that up while you are at it. Same as before, do it once and you're done.

The pocket cleaner is only for cleaning the gunk out after depriming.
