jmorris Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Was it crimped or S&B brass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S&W627shooter Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Mine happened while loading Fed primers into crappy mixed 9mm brass. I think it was a Win brass with some crimp in the pocket. Fortunately it was only one. My friend detonated the whole tube! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Dunn Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I had my first primer pop in my 1050 the other day. It looked like the decapper left a ring of primer (just knocked out the bottom of the primer), I didn't notice any increased pressure at the swaging station, popped on station 3. The primers in the tube didn't go up, wasn't as loud as I would have expected. It was a WSR primer, didn't notice the brand of case. Wearing eye protection, no harm to man or machine.

BlackBuzzard Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Ok.........you'all got me freaked out here. So far no detonation on my 650 in two years using only Winchester small pistol primers. However, disruptions in the national primer supply chain, have force me to begin using Federal's. I reload mixed 9mm and 40 brass that I pick up off the range, and often get "crunches" during primer seating. So far no detonation and all the crunched or difficult primer insertions have fired successfully in practice. I'm thinking I've got to go easier on the primer insertion part of the stroke, and wear hearing protection during reloading. A cascading detonation of all primers in the vertical tube in front of my face, is something I just dont want to hear without something stuck in my ears.
