Primer ignites in kinetic puller

[jcwit]

I almost lost a finger a few years ago by getting too close to a table saw without gloves...

You do say to use gloves while operating a table saw, right?

Just for those out there who might do this it is extremely dangerous, as is wearing gloves while using a drill press or operating a lathe, or wearing loose clothing while operating power machinery.

One of the tool & die shops I worked at if caught operating power machinery wearing gloves was a quick way out the door, no second chance, you're gone.

Now back to high primers, IMO seating a high primer is a No, No. More than likely it wouldn't go off, but, and that 3 letter word should answer the question.

I read through the posts quickly so maybe someone already mentioned it but, my old man always taught me to look through the flashhole after taking brass out of the tumbler. I dont know if it has to do with brass or my redneck way of not measuring how much polish i put in the tumbler but sometimes i have corn cob media in 70% of the flash holes that i have to push out. I wonder if u had a kernel stuck in the flashhole keeping the primer from seating(and not detonating the powder when it went off). The hammer could have caused the primer to drive deeper into the pocket where the kernel would be pushing on the center of the anvil.

If your still with me youre probably saying yeah if the moon and the stars align....

I here ya. I dont know if a walnut or cob media would be strong enough either but im interested if yall more experianced loaders think its possible

Robbie, if you use the media I providing a link to the problem of media in the flash holes will no longer exist. Its small enough to not get clogged in the primer pocket or the flash hole, comes shipped to your door for little less than $33.00. Whats not to like.
