[QUOTE="lever-hed, post: 798699, member: 11667"] Yes, bingo, those are called Berdan primers. Pins break when they cant find a hole to go thru.. Just chuck ‘em to the scrap bin… more Pita than its worth. Somebody needs to read their reloading manual, this is basic stuff. Also, when you have crimped primers they tend to not come out too easy, but they will.. you can use a shell holder, a hammer, and a punch pin or buy a separate decapping punch to knock the primers out, (just make sure their not Berdan first).. Military or Lake City brass is much tougher to size also, you will need quite a LOT of leverage to size em, if you have a small chamber, have fun..(you didn’t say what gun your reloading for).. careful how much your actually sizing them though, if they are excessively fired ‘out’, you will potentially be overworking them.. Also note, Berdan primed cases tend to have primers ‘staked’ in as opposed to crimped, you will see what appears to be 3 indentation marks around the primer pocket. (just chuck ‘em)... lightbulb [/QUOTE]
