Fastex500 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I am returning to reloading after about 20 years and have set up a progressive in 9mm. I have adjusted everything and am getting good, consistent production, but every once in a while, the lee primer will feed a primer in upside down (even after ensuring they are all correct in the disc). Not that it is a big deal to trash a case, but is there a way to remove a seated primer safely? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmw5142 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 The only way I know of is to decap it with the sizing die very slowly. You may want to wear ear muffs and safety glasses (which you should always wear anyway). I don't see where it would really hurt anything if it did pop. I've never had it happen and I've decapped them this way before. Best bet is probably to just dispose of safely though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belus Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I'd squirt the primer with a penetrating oil like WD-40 before decapping it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_kothmann Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Toss it. Not a safety issue just not worth your time if it's only a couple. Your looking at like 5 cents. 3 of which your not getting back anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul-the new guy Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) put it in you pistol and shoot it if you are affraid to just press it out with your press; Then it is a dead primer. I shot some last night. I did the first one to scare my wife, it worked pretty well! then I did the other 2 just because... I was out of bullets so I was done reloading for the night and I had 3 primed cases leftover. edt I missed the part where they were upside down... I would press them out.

Hi-Power Jack Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I shot some last night. I did the first one to scare my wife, it worked pretty well! Paul, I'm not sure where you live, but in certain parts of the country, "scaring your wife with a firearm" can be considered assault??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi-Power Jack Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 How else is she gonna learn? Off the top, I can't think of a single thing I'd like to teach my wife with a gun. About guns, yes, but not with a gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Ryder Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I am glad my wife says she knows nothing about guns. I'd be dead already if she did. I keep them in a safe just incase she is lying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
