sperman Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Probably the most brain-dead primer spillage was when I wasn't paying attention and had the box upside down when I pulled out the primer tray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGunner Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I'm guilty of pulling the plastic tray out upside down also, I do it over a salad bowl now just in case I get a brain fart... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Suber Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) Back in August I was loading primer tubes with my Vibra Prime... Somehow, one of the retention pins on the primer tube was not in place.. So, I am sitting there puling the trigger on my VibraPrime and wondering what it was that I felt hitting my feet...... Almost an entire pack of primers before the thought of stopping and looking occured to me...Lots of profanity... And, Yes, since it was practice ammo, I picked them up and used them.... Moral of the story....never reload ammo when you have a lot of other things on your mind....distractions can be a pain in the ass or worse...

Lee King Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) I was talking.. er.. antagonizing a friend while she was picking up primers with the pickup tube. She turned and said something like "LISTEN!!" while pointing the tube at me.. and flung the contents all over me in a kind of primer shower (she forgot the pin).

John2A Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Filling RF100 kept hearing this sound like something dropping on the table. Huh looked nothing seemed out of place. finished its cycle. pulled out the tube and 100 primers were in the base, and underneath the RF100. Couple of profanities slip my lip and scouped them back up and put them back in the tray. You guessed it the cotter pin was laying beside the bench. That is my Primer DOOOUUUGGGGHHHHH momment.

satx40 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 For some reason I seem to forget to put the clip in the primer tube. But since this only happened two or three times................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boz1911 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 The poll should have been: Do you swear when you drop a tube of primers all over the f-ing place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyZip Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Every six months or so I over tighten the primer tube on my SDB. If you have one, you know that this can cause the primers to dump into the bottom of the machine. Well, the last time it happened I came on here and griped, (got that post shut down, product specific) and then looked up a cure using the search function, only to find a thread I HAD STARTED where some nice people told me not to over tighten this part! CAN YOU SAY LAME? Yeah, I felt like a turd for a day about that. Needless to say, I will probably over tighten that thing one night when I am too tired to be out there reloading, and should be in bed.

kevin c Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Of course I've dropped priimers. The bigger question is how hard do ya try to pick ALL of them back up again... . If I ever move out of my place, I'm thinking I'll find a match's worth of primers behind/under the various junk I have lying around in my basement reloading area.

rvb Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 forget to put the clip in the primer tube. I performed that trick once [so far!] The other time I had my flip tray too close to the edge of my workbench... ok, hanging over the edge of my workbench... and when I pressed down with the pickup tube with nothing but air under the tray, cursing ensued. d'oh! -rvb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRe Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 The more interesting poll asks who's had one go off in the vacuum sweeper after thinking you'd cleaned up all the dropped primers... Or worse... had your wife have one go off in the sweeper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) To be absolutely honest, I have never dropped a primer or primers on the floor (20,000 + loaded). Before I open the tray, I slide it out just the tiniest bit, making sure it's not upside down, lay my primer flip tray on top of them, hold the tray against the flip tray, flip, then put the other side of the flip tray on, and flip again. Lay the open flip tray on my flat bench, then load the tubes. Before loading the tubes, always making sure the cotter pin or wire is in place. I don't pull the pin until it is already upside down over the primer feed tube on my Dillon. The closest thing to dropping a primer is when I get to working the machine to fast and one flies out of the primer cup. Won't say it won't happen in the future, but so far.....
