I have also punched out all the primers that got inverted in seating and reused most all of them. A few crumbled due to tight pockets and were discarded due to that. Wear safety glasses and do it with a gentle push rather than jamming the ram up into the die. On a single stage like the rock chucker, I pushed the priming arm up to catch the primer as it came out. Not nearly the dark dangerous operation some would have you believe. I don't keep open containers of powder around when doing priming operations either. Of all the many thousands of primers I have seated over the years, I have crushed a number of them with crimped primer pockets, the primer arm not being quite all the way back into the ram and a variety of other reasons. Of all those, I have only had one go off. It will get your attention.</p></blockquote><p></p>
