Thread: Decapping unfired primers

I don't know how but I have never in all the years I have been reloading put a primer in backwards or had a problem decapping live ones. I have decapped a fair few live ones, recovered them and reused them. (mainly pistol ammo)

I have had a primer that wasn't seated properly that almost jammed up my press. I never gave it a thought when I grabbed some needle nose pliers to remove the primer from the case.
It looked liked it wouldn't take much to remove it and with a click of the pliers as they slipped off the primer it went of in my hands.

Like an idiot I didn't have safety glasses on and had bits of stuff hit all around my face and eyes.
I now wear the bastards whenever I am at my bench.
