just the primer -
That is normal. You can clean it out with a primer pocket brush or do as many of us do and just de-cap and reprime.A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

Seating the primer is not the issue, like what the Chief posted it's normal.sigpicComment

If the build up gets too bad, I clean it out with a small screwdriver or a pick.R.I.P. Chris Kyle. 2/2/13Comment

Totally normal. But if you're going to clean that stuff out with picks or brushes, I would do it with caution. Primer pocket residue is the single-most concentrated form of lead you will find in the reloading process, since it's basically lead styphnate blast residue. You don't want to breathe that stuff in or ingest it.Comment
