[QUOTE="jlee91w, post: 1776660, member: 35588"] I’ve actually de-primed upside down primers without a problem. I have had 1 primer go off in my hornady lock-n-load progressive press when the spring loaded primer slide got caught and then slammed back setting one off (nothing to do with de-priming). Other than scaring the crap out of me, there wasn’t any shrapnel or damage done. YMMV, I would say deprime away, you don’t have to slam it up and down. I’ve also had multiple “hard” primers not go off when struck by a firing pin. I believe that it is a bit harder to set off a primer than most people think. If you are truly worried, shoot them off and then de-prime as usual. [/QUOTE]
