Before I got a tumbler I just cleaned my brass with a rag and some meths, did that before I sized them then wiped them down after sizing to get the lube off.
I clean the primer pocket with one of those little tools that came in my kit or else you could scratch it out with a little screwdriver like Grandpmac does.
Brought the thread by @grandpamac back to the top for you to read through. Some good stuff in it for us newbies.
