If the garage floor is concrete you will have many pock marks on your floor.

I picked up a new Fed. SPP in a tight location with a pair of needle nose pliars--it went bang. Actually no big deal at all when unconfined and not in with 100 more just like it.
Remember, the live primer was just put into clean brass and not fired. Because it wasn't fired it didn't stretch in the brass so it comes out with VERY little pressure from the decapper. Like I said above, I've used every live primer I've taken out of brass over again and all want bang. I'm not saying I've done 1000's but I'm guessing over the years there have been 50 or so for 1 reason or another.I had NO idea you could remove live primers from the flash side. I figured it would crush the anvil and ruin the primer.
quite simple for me at least.. primer pockets that are so worn out, they will not hold a primer any longer.. 'manual seating pretty much tells you when you have 'bad worn out brass .. instead of the normal 'resistance' it goes in way way too easy .. getting away from the primers, i will 'never' load any case neck w/splits either .. any telltale case 'head indicator's ( lines /bulging will be rejected also.Whats the determination that brass is "good".? Just wondering.
i just answered your p/message .. please 'don't apologize as it might have been my poor choice of words .. As i've hit my mid 60's now , it seems i forget my own name at times ( lol ) .. add spelling to that too ! ..The Admin's here & or moderators are 'golden compared to some i've been on ! .. they are adult, understanding, tolerant and fairly easy on postings ..I've made some mistakes and apologized for doing so .. No harm no foul my friend ! .. ( caring is sharing ) ! .. my best !I think I need to apologize here as it seems my post was implying you reload as in a business standpoint. Sorry did not mean that, was just stating that I do not reload for anyone else, rereading my first couple of sentences it came off all wrong. Very bad choice of wording on my part, and will edit. Sorry griz.
GREAT POST ! .. i wish the guy with the hammer smashing primers on his garage floor would read your posting ! .. I personally have been in (3) major combat mine explosionsI was depriming .45 ACPs that were live with CCI primers. I was merrily chugging away and Kaboom.
Blew the little blue plastic catch bucket to smithereens.
I was wearing ear muffs and eye glasses, so only surprise, nothing more, thankfully.
I don't remember how many there were in the bucket, I am guessing about 5ish.
I have since done it several times; one at a time, now only after taking off the replacement waste primer bucket, and letting them fall. However, SLOWLY is now the way.
