As I read further....this was the correct choice to keep the components.

Piece of cake, but wear body armour, welding mask, welding gloves over heavy cotton gloves, a lead apron, with a body and leg army surplus explosion sheild, and use a 20 ft. cheater bar to stroke the handle...no problema! or do like I would do stroke the handle and pray a little prayer.

Well I am not as brave as some on hear. I have 2 9mm that have high primers laying on the bench. When I get done with this run of 9mm I will pull the bullets and re process them.

I seat the prime on an empty case, no powder yet.

Another good reason for having clean primer pockets.

The real question is What are you going to do with your loading process to prevent this in the future?

At the highly hypocritical risk of keeping this thread alive......I thought this thread would have die off long ago. Just don't do it!

And most of all, figure out what you've done wrong so it doesn't EVER happen again.

Reloading has an inherent level of risk; you cannot eliminate it, but neither should you ignore it.
