[QUOTE="geocodyrgia, post: 1824531, member: 98212"] only thing I’ll add is to agree that the primers can be pushed out, no big deal and add that they can be reused. I’ve been in the same spot where I primed before neck sizing but then realized that a chunk of the cases were going to get tested with the neck sizing so I pushed out the primers (as said above, don’t slam them and you’ll be fine, I’ve yet to have one go off and have removed probably 100 or more) and then reused the same primers back into the cases. They worked just fine and the beat I can tell had absolutely zero impact on precision of the loaded round. At least I’m not good enough to shoot the difference anyways. As with any time playing with explosives make sure you’re wearing at least eye protection in case the worst happens, and the suggestion for sizing without the recapping stem is a solid piece of advice, but just wanted to add the above to add a voice acknowledging that you’re not going to blow yourself up by removing and reusing primers and I haven’t found them to be any more loose than original seating (surprisingly). Coming from someone who saw an elk out the passenger side window a couple times, and has never had to worry about “the shot of a lifetime“, but has killed a fair number of paper plates at moderate east coast distances.
