I read the previous post about practicing and making inital adjustments using spent primers. And that got me to thinking......
I have read several manuals that talk about the proper primer seating depth, and all have appropriate warnings to NEVER de-prime a live primer. But none of them ever say (for liability reasons I'm sure) what to do with a cartridge that has an improperly seated primer.
Do you just throw that cartridge away and try again?
Is there a 'safe' way to either deprime it or discharge the primer so it can be deprimed?
I read somewhere about the way to throw away a prime cartridge was to remove the bullet and powder, fill the cartridge with WD-40 and throw it in the trash. Is this accurate? Will this sufficiently destroy the primer? If you do this, can the cartridge be deprimed,cleaned out with brake parts cleaner and reused?
Tnx!
