OUCH! Reloaded my thumb today!

[Snapping Twig]

Yup...sized finger. You can't hardly get away from doing it now and again.

I got one each with the sizer and the reloader - 'bout all it takes to learn I figure.

Makes for an interesting circular wound. Try explaining that to someone.

On my Lee Pro-1000, I was loading .38 Specials, and had the case feeder adjusted too high. When the second to last case fed down, it slipped forward as I started to work the ram, and the last case also fell down ont othe case feeder slot and fell over on its side. Well, this will jam the press up so I stuck my thumb and finger in there to pull it out, and in the process I forgot to stop pulling the handle and smashed my thumb against the edge of the finished-round chute under the top-turret-plate. Ouchie.

I did the decapping pin though my nail once. The problem was that my kid was pulling the lever and didn't release until I started screaming.

That FRIGGING hurt. It was my pointer finger nail.

It's a rite of passage. I nailed my finger in my first Lee press.

ok lucy explain this to me.

why is it at that when you have one hand pulling the arm of the press down and the other hand has somehow managed to put a finger in harms way, that the pulling the lever hand. is completely disconnected from the pain>?

You just gotta love compound leverage.
