Live primer (sideways) removal?

Still doesn't explain why all CCI's are good for a full 100 count in the tray? :confused:


Maybe I'll just get some CCI primers. Although, I am enjoying shopping for Win brass in cunjunction with Win primers. ;)
 
They "Claim" that the Win cups are much softer than the CCI's so they make that recommendation based on their "fear of litigation" factor.

They also say to NEVER use Federal primers in it either and I have had those in by the hundred and lived to tell about it.

You can't go wrong with CCI Primers. It is all I shoot in my competition guns.
 
If I don't shove a primer in sideways at least once per reloading session, I am drinking too little.

That's why God invented the leatherman tool.
 
AND THE WINNER IS-------

You must douse it with oil, water, and at least seven other chemicals recommended on this site. Then you must don your crash helmet, welding helmet, and complete deep sea diving outfit, call the police dept, fire dept, ERT or SWAT. Lastly, you must go outside and run around the house or apartment building seven times. Go back in, dig out the primer , or push it out.

Sit down, relax. Reloading is fun.
 
The reason they say never use federal primers isn't because they suck, it's because they're in the softest cup. Once they're seated they're badass, it's seating them that could be a problem.
 
Well I have a a bit over 1200 Federal large rifle primers left. I'll use those up, then switch over to CCI.


On another note, I just loaded up my first batch. :cool:


I'm going to have to make my own "how to" video to download, or maybe a tutorial, because all the little stuff like how a primer needs a good "squish", or how the bushing needs to be snug, need to be better explained. I know for a fact I was quite nervous, until I finally clued in to how everything "goes together". I'm sure we'd have alot more reloaders if the process was more detailed. :cool:

Quit scaring the newbies. Federal primers are no more prone to accidental ignition DURING NORMAL RELOADING PROCEDURES than any other primer.

If Federal primers were as bad as some of you say, do you think Federal would still be in business after about 100 years?
Every primer you buy will be within the standards set by SAAMI, including Federal.
 
I have a small screwdriver on my bench. the size I would use on the screws in my glasses. I get one primer sideways about 1:200

Slide the shellholder out of the tool, and from the bottom use the screwdriver to pry it out. It will come out quite easy unless you really mashed it. no need to oil it.
 
Since I have a Lee PRO1000, there is a pile of brass with sideways primers.
Before reading this thread, I was gonna apply some BRASSO to the primer with a Q-tip and wait for it to dissolve.

Now I think I'll pry them out with a screwdriver.
Thanks, guys!!! ;)

Not exactly true, some people don't like fed primers because they're too sensitive.

Federal uses a basic lead styphnate rather than normal lead styphnate increases their sensitivity to ignition.

I've loaded thousands without a problem, but I have also had a tray go off as well, so YMMV
