[QUOTE="emp1953, post: 1775420, member: 71817"] I buy a lot(thousands) of the demilled Federal brass with the FC headstamp. Most of these have the blue sealant evident around the primer. I loaded some up as they were and they all fired just fine, but I was uncomfortable with how the primers(cases) had been stored and handled. So I took to full length sizing each one popping out the live primer. I have a single stage Rock Chucker press and standard RCBS dies. I have never had a primer go off. Again that's thousands of cases. I'm always expecting it to happen though. Always wear eye protection, long sleeve shirt and a woodworking apron. And always work from above the press keeping my face away from the business end of things. I always use a smooth fluid stroke on the handle as well. I don't tempt things by banging the ram home.
