I am setting up my press and need a quick questioned answer. I have no empty brass. So I used my power puller to remove the bullet from a live round. After disposing of the powder, I filled the case with WD-40. How long should it take for the WD to kill the primer? PMC 55 gr. FMJ if it matters. Vaca |

Quoted:
you can actually deprime a live primer without soaking it if you go slowly. Even if it pops it isnt a big deal. This... Quoted:
I just stick the shell in the rifle and drop the hammer on it while it pointed in a safe direction ...and this, with the caveat to WEAR HEARING PROTECTION, ESPECIALLY IF DOING THIS INSIDE. Primers can be amazingly loud in a small room. |

My concern with de-capping live primers is that they are in a confined space (at least on my Dillon SDB) and there's only one place for the gasses to go. If a Super Colibri .22 round can travel 50 yards and still be dangerous, I imagine a rifle primer has even more power. A lot more. Just sayin'. |

I've had a couple of primers pop when decapping, it's pretty uneventful. |
