close to thirty years with this hobby. pinched my finger and lost a nail once. couple of blisters. also knelt on a primer while looking for it.
The only "actual" incident I had was when I reloaded this past fall for my .30-06 and the bullet in 3 of them out of 50 seated way too easy. Didn't pay attention and when, during a follow-up shot, I tried to chamber it, it stuck in the chamber and dang near wrecked it. Had to clean up the chamber neck, replace the extractor, and beat out the round with a cleaning rod (which I ruined). Lesson learned. If it goes in too easy, stop and check it. NEVER had that happen before. I believe Ganderite had a suggestion when I posted that in a thread that one should cycle all hunting rounds through while still at home, and I have taken him up on that little tip!!
