I do the same however I was surprised how uneven the ends were. I haven't tested yet but I suspect no more random leaks without going full gorilla grip every time.

I do wet tumbling with stainless mixed media, a splash of dish soap and pinch of citric acid which works a treat and returns the brass to a like-new state. I used to deprime and full length size before tumbling, but have found that if I do that afterwards and leave the OneShot in place throughout the remaining process, they don't foul over time and makes repeating the process so much quicker the next time around. As the can states, OneShot doesn't interfere with the function of the powder / primer. The shooting I've done to date confirmed this for me.

Interesting. I'm assuming you clean primer pockets individually. By using a universal de primer means you let the pins clean the primer pockets before FLS.

I have found no loss of accuracy from not cleaning primer pockets I have not cleaned on in more than 30 years .
Not even for my long range rifles.

Never cleaned a primer pocket in my life.
