Reloading Injuries

Well crap, I just raked the side of my pinky across the top of the decapping rod on my sizing die and have had to implement my Blood Borne Pathogens protocol!

If it pass out fall backwards so you don't end up with that die stuck in your face.

I thought about putting rubber vacuum caps on the top of my dies to prevent that. But the voice in my head laughed and called me a wussy.

I think you need to remove that RC IV from your bench, pack it up and send it to me. I will save you future pain.

I pushed a freshly deburred and trimmed case right through the tip of my finger. It was like a cookie cutter to my finger.

Well, LRH is a "blood" sport.

Someone had to be the first to admit to doing that. Of course that's never happened to me......

I have ripped many of my favorite shirts along with my hands from the same thing. I doubt that my lesson has been learned. Your bullets will have blood on them before they head down the barrel! .

I am tagging in to see what kind of other images are posted to this thread…

Wipe the blood off....spit on it...get back to work......
....unless you need a booboo bandage...
Cover it with 'superglue'......

A spent .22 lr case fits over mine to protect me from myself.

I have a couple scars on my forearms from that exact type of stem!

Huh, my Redding dies don't bite me. Weird.

Does reloading the chainsaw count?

Getting a new chain out of the package

Ouch! I have many stitches, thankfully well hidden, I count them as "experience"
