Dillon 650 Primer Kaboom

[Red Ryder]

Reef Tanks!,, in the loading room!?

Reef tank? a shooter should not have time for a reef tank. I can't get a reef tank cause of the traveling to matches and I don't have time to mow the yard. Tell me you don't have a yard and I wont feel so ,, left out.

No yard, just cactus and rocks....pretty easy to maintain..

As far as the Reef tank...I've tried to get my Yellow Tang to reload, but he is too small to grab the roller handle on the 650.

Dillon parts should be coming soon. The primer tubes did contain the explosion, and my lights are not directly above the press. But the primer plunger had to be doing at least 650 fps upon exiting the priming system.

I am thinking of cementing the whole yard... less grass cutting...more matches!

Makes me want to wear earpro while reloading.

I've blown up dozens of primers but not a tube yet (knock on wood).

Blew up a tube of about 20-50 last night.

Three years later it was my time.

Too bad it happened right before the holiday. Was hoping to get some good loading in on my 1050.

Damn, that was loud!

Primer failed to drop and I seated one on top of it.

I have no idea how it jumped all the way to the tube though...

Here's the case and how far it flew.

Shell stop for the priming station is gone and the aluminum inner tube is blocked. I don't think there's any other damage as the inner tube held.
