You mean black ash/dirt inside the primer pocket? If you got a reloading kit, it probably came with a primer pocket cleaner. You can use that to make it a bit better. You're really just making sure there's nothing in there that would prevent the primer from seating fully - i.e. fairly significant buildup.
For what it's worth, I clean the pockets for my rifle brass, but not pistol.
