So I've never had this happen before or even heard of it... I was getting ready to seat some bullets in my 6.5-06 AI. I don't have an OAL gauge so I graphited the crap out of the inside of the neck, seated a bullet close to what I thought the OAL is, chambered it and closed the bolt. The case was uncharged but it was primed. I put the case in my bullet puller hammer and started hitting away on the garage floor. After about three swings, POW! The primer went off. Anyone experienced this before? It really scared the crap out of me because I had just knocked about eight 338WM that were charged. Thanks in advance.

Yes I've heard of it, and seen pictures, but can't recall where.

Toilet paper moment?
Did about 30 just the other day... Fully charged and primed. Will keep this in mind.
Outta curiosity... What brand of puller were you using? Please tell me it isn't a frankford arsenal

The good thing about a collet puller in addition to not risk detonation, is that you don't lose any powder and with the right size collet you don't mark or damage the bullets.
I still have a inertia bullet puller, but have not used it since I bought the collet puller.

Grip and Pull has been getting very positive reviews. If I wasn't as well supplied with collets I'd get one. Might anyway looks handy.

My question is ...WHY?? Its not like it takes lots of time to kill a primer before hand. Kill all primers before you use a hammer type puller on them.
