[QUOTE="JGRJR, post: 2497035, member: 69912"] We still have not heard many details about the original accident. This is a very frightening accident. I have reloaded for about 50 years and have never seen something like this. I have used that type of RCBS priming tool. It does bounce back and forth. I usually use my left hand to damp the mechanism so it does not bang back and forth. I also was wondering about the damage to both hands. Since one hand would be on the handle and the other is not involved unless you do what I did and reach out to damp the swing of the arm. I mostly use hand tools now but never thought the RCBS tool was more dangerous than others. Again it would be nice to hear more about the accident. I would also ask Quarterman to tell us more about his fathers accident? To those that know, Is there enough energy in a single primer to remove three fingers? I am surprised by that. I am not questioning Quarterman. I guess I am just amazed at the energy in a single primer? I was always taught that you should handle primers as little as possible. I saw a thread somewhere awhile back that seemed to say that is a myth? The no touch rule favors the use of primer tubes. I always thought a single load tool would be a pain in the ***. However if a single primer does have that much energy a tray or tube tube of 100 is pretty dangerous. How do people clean their primer tubes? [/QUOTE]
