[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1359144, member: 74902"] I feel that is safe as long as it does not protrude. Not knowing what caused it and depending on how uneven it is, The primer might be crushed. This could cause a misfire or allow gas to leak around the primer.... You can de-prime live primers. You just run the case thru the die again slowly. The de-capping pin will remove it. Primers require an impact force to ignite. I have de-capped lots of live primers without issue. The primer cannot be used after that. Or you could put the primed case in the rifle ( no bullet or powder) then go outside and fire it. [/QUOTE]
