[QUOTE="Ahall, post: 4169150, member: 49426"] Live primer, Kill the primer with some form of liquid. WD 40 is popular. Just remember that this may be a temporary condition and is not a long term fix. Removal - If you reload a large straight wall case (45/70), you may be able to use that die a universal deprimer. Block of wood with a hole in it for the primer to fall into and a punch - works fine, and I have done it many times. One quick blow is all it takes. Don't be ginger with it and be sure the punch is in the flash hole before you hit it. Hold the punch with a pair of plyers so your hand is not in line with the case. If the primer should pop the case will shoot up and the rim could give you a nasty cut if your hand is right above it. If you don't have a punch, just get a 16 penny nail and grind a small tip on it, The tip only need to be about 1/4 inch long and the stiff body is helpful. Use your decamping die as a reference for the pin size. Water technique - fill case with water, insert a close-fitting dowel and smack it with the case supported on a board with a small hole for the primer to fall into. Never had much success with this technique and its a bit messy. [/QUOTE]
