[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 96077, member: 1290"] I knock them out like any other spent primer. Even if one went off in the press the flash and bits would be contained in the shell inside of the die. If it were to breach it would be directed down and away from you. I remove good primers whenever I want to clean up brass that is already primed and sat too long and has tarnished. I just tumble them again and then knock out the primers and redo them. It has never been a concern. It seems like a lot of people think these things are easy to detonate. Properly supported it takes a precise sharp hit to set one off. A weak firing pin spring or too much headspace like in an improperly done Ackley and they will not go off. Slow steady pressure like a reloading press would be hard pressed to get one to go off only working it by hand. Don your safety glasses and knock them out. [/QUOTE]
