Botched Reload

[Steven420]

Ok bullets didnt seat right or whatever.. Kenetic puller gets the bullet ans powder out, what about the primer? just feed it into the Lee Progressive 1000 after the decapping stage, or let the Loader decap the fresh otherwise good primer? This may sound like a stupid question but i'd rather look stupid than to have a primer blow up in my face. Thanks in advance guys and I really appreciate the Help.

Just feed it in the process by leaving a space blank and when it comes up after the priming step, feed it in. The primer is good, so just go ahead and use it as is. No need to deprime it at all.

Hope this helps.

Or you can send it through the entire process and simply remove the decapping stem from the sizing die for that case only.

...unless the case is wrecked, in which case slow and steady pressure will remove the primer without popping it, and you can catch it and re-use it and scrap the bad case.

Just bell (if pistol), recharge the powder, and reseat the bullet. There's no need to resize the case, again . . . certainly no need to remove the primer.

Removing decapping pins from dies is a pain, leave'm be if you can.

If you've messed up the case beyond repair, don't try and save te primer. Toss it in/and the case and don't do whatever it was you did to mess up the case again.

Reminds me of a song.... "Fifty ways to save your primer".

Hey, Mr. Simon . . . Quit huffing the Hoppes!

With apologies to Paul Simon....

Just pop out the cap, Pap.
Just leave out the pin, Ben.
Just toss the whole case, Grace

Sounds like garfunkle to me
