I was decapping .40 brass a couple weeks ago and had a good rhythm going. I was only bringing the ram down far enough to get the brass in and out. One didn't quite get push all the way in so I push it back with my finger and didn't get it out of the way in time. My finger got sandwiched in between the die and the empty case. The case cut a fairly deep semi circle the tip of my finger. Bled pretty good, I'm lucky it didn't cut all the way through. It healed fairly quickly, but was pretty tender for a while.

Last week, I was deburring brass and a piece slipped and sliced my thumb pretty good. Still hasn't healed yet. Glad yours wasn't too bad.

Oh the pain.
When I first clipped my finger in my SS press I said this is a first, but probably not the last time. Now after the second time, I say when will the last time arrive. Still feels better than when my thumb got between a 1.5 inch end mill and a AR15 lower. I had my share of mishaps I knew can happen but always hope it won't. Be safe, alert, know the risks and always prepare for the worst if it can happen. Glad your ok. |

Did that ONCE while loading 38spl when I was 16-17.
Compound leverage is a bitch. Decapping pin broke the skin of my left index finger around the first knucle and sank to the bone. Surprised I didnt break the bone or have a circle/hole punched finger on case side of press. That is your press' way of saying <snip>don't post like that in this forum, this is not GD. dryflash3 |
