Had a small fleck from a brass shaving on my priming tool and didn't see it till I had 5 or 6 cases done. There is a line dented into the primers. Any adverse affect to this or should I shoot them off and reprime? I'm assuming you can't run a live primed case through a sizing die to decap it can you? Never did that before. Sounds dangerous CCI large rifle primers in a 45-70 case if it matters at all. Thanks

If they were for your match ammo.....why, take a chance? ME......I'd use them for plinking ammo or practice. ___________________ Running a live primered case through a de-cap die comes with RISK. Yes, folks have done it. ME.....I'd try and kill the primer first. Or, fire it off. Then, I'm not about to attempt to re-use, an "unused mangled primer". That's me. And, for those that want to try re-using a primer or don't want to kill the primer first........well, good luck. Murphy Rules. Aloha, Mark |

I have had many indents in primers from media, powder, and a few from brass like you. I am shooting pistols, and I don't think it will be an issue. They were very minor indents. Maybe yours was more significant.
Also, I have deprimed live primers. Nice and slow. Not an issue. (I do close my eyes and look away sometimes, y not) The NRA reloading class instructors said DON'T DO IT. And we both do it all the time. |
