[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1914369, member: 2736"] Yes. The press is very strong and if you slowly push the primer out it will be fine. What you want to avoid is impacting the primer by slamming the die down to fast. This is just because the primer requires that rapid compression/impact in order to fire. some primers are coated to prevent moisture from degrading it and soaking them may not kill the primer. Sizing and de-capping at the same prevents the rapid striking of the primer. The only time I have ever heard of a primer ignition was during priming with thin cup pistol primers. The only time I decap live primers is when I need to pull the bullets in a load and/or replace the primer with a different primer or replace the primers in primed new brass cases. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
