When I anneal, I drop the hot cartridge into a small metal pan. All of them are first deprimed. I missed one that had a live primer in it. When I dropped it in the pan, I guess it hit an adjacent hot neck, and went bang. The primer nailed me near my elbow, and then went to the floor. It hurt for few days. Now I check all of em before I begin annealing.

Wow, not only do you have have to check every case before annealing but I think you better re check you whole reloading area, process & storage area.

If I have partially processed & primed cases then they go in the same place with live ammo......................because they are live!

I think you should buy yourself a lottery ticket ;)

It took a lot of courage to show your mistake & I congratulate you on that.

We all need to be vigilant within our whole process & surroundings.
