ryan you will find MANY opinons on primer pocet cleaning. PERSONALLY I clean every primer pocket I reload. I feel it gives me more consistency in primer seating. Others won't agree. I use a universal deprimer then tumble the cases (rifle and handgun) then resize and reprime. I prefer the case clean before it goes into my resizing die. Once again, that's MY way, not necessarily the right way and DEFINATELY not the only way.
try this for your primers:

the two listing for 223 are both small rifle but the first is for milspec to help prevent slamfires. I shoot a Savage Edge Bolt gun so I use the regular smal rifle primer.
The load I'm currently loading for mine is 22.5 Grains of AA2230 with a 55 gr Hornady spirepoint.
