Hi
Reloaded my first 223's today and my primer press managed to squeeze a primer sideways into the primer hole..
What to do ?
I'm thinking of soaking it in water overnight and then popping it out with the necking die tomorrow.
Any other bright ideas ?

See above for pics ... Our electrons must've passed each other in the ether ;)Quote:

Yea as P says it will pop out. Earmuffs or plugs might help too, just incase

I got one in a case upside down the other day, I have a very fine grounded file, put down shell and tapped out, made sure I closed my eyes when hitting:thumbsup:
Might just get one of the kids to pop it out

Hitting + Tapping + Primer = OuchiesQuote:

Big of a dilemma when it's upside down and cases are 5 bucks each, pretty safe if you are careful and have a think about how your going to do it
Put on my chainsaw helmet and some goggles and popped it out with my neck sizing die
@Maca49 Five bucks a shell !? Wtf !?

I've done that several times before Kiwi39.
Especially in progressive presses.
The primer will come out quite easily.
No need to soak it in water or anything drastic like that.
Put it back through your decapping die and it will simply push out like any spent primer.
Cheers

Ta @P38 just as nervous as a virgin ... First load and all that.
Wish I could have shot today but little point as it was blowing its tits off
The caps out now ...

I hear what your saying, nothing like experience ... better to be on the safe side.Quote:

Might help in preventing it happening again.
BTW you will have a primer explode on you at some stage of your reloading career and frighten the life out of you.
Learn from the mistakes.
