Well I used to do exactly that, just a good wipe down before reloading. Although would normally have to use a tiny wire brush to brush out the carbon residue from the primer pocket. Without cleaning, the residue is often heavy enough to prevent a replacement primer from even fitting back in properly. Even a little residue could cause minor differences in how the powder is ignited, resulting in different points of impact. Not really an issue for pistol distances, but think how much those minor differences are magnified at long distance. What may be only an eighth or quarter of an inch difference at 100 yards now becomes several inches at 1,000 yards or beyond.
