How do I get new primers out

[agilent_one]

Go ahead and run the case into you size die, or whatever you use to decap fired cases. Sheesh, guys.
Wear eye protection, and think about earplugs, because if you fire a primer in the press it's pretty loud; Even if you do manage to get one to pop, we aren't talking about dangerous explosions here.

I've deprimed live primers many hundreds of time, and usually re-use the primers, except if the primers are crimped in, because it bends the primers punching themout.

Yup.

Just throw on some eye protection and de-prime those buggers. I've done this more than a few times. Go slow.

It's perfectly safe to decap a live primer. The decapping pin pushes on the other side of the little anvil inside the primer, and since there is nothing to keep the primer in the case, there is no sudden pressure to set the primer off

yup deprime and re-use live primers all the time. not a big deal at all. even if it does go bang, so what? it's inside the resizing die.

It makes a funny poof sound.

Have to admit I have only been reloading since '74 so I go along with Slavex & Splatter. In that I pop it out the way I would decap a dead primer & immediately re use it with no explosions or problems in the reloaded round not going off.
