[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 2897683, member: 78056"] The only way I can think of for a primer to go off with a inertia puller is for someone to hit the thing hard enough that the primer cup hits the anvil hard enough to set it off... which would take a really incredible amount of gee force! Me thinks someone may have been using the inertia bullet puller as though it were a... dare I say it? A hammer?! I have pulled many rounds apart using the RCBS inertia puller and have never experienced a primer detonation. I had never even heard of it happening until reading it here, so I'm thinking it's got to be relatively rare. Of course, whenever dealing with any kind of impact around primers, safety glasses are a must. I know I broke a couple of the pullers, including hitting one a bit sideways and breaking a chunk of the tube off, until I actually read and understood the instructions and learned to use them properly, under which circumstances I believe they should be perfectly safe to use. Operative word there is "should" so taking precautions is always the better part of valor! Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
