No, but I cringe when the POP. I'd rather not mess with that anyway. I dont mind doing them by hand.Are you having a really hard time removing them? Back when I did it, I just used the RCBS .30-06 small base dies and bought a bunch of replaceable pins. I did thousands of them that way. The did break from time to time, but I got sized cases and all the primers popped pretty easy.
Cool idea! Im gonna look into that!I would recommend getting a set of squirrel daddy pins to use as the punch.

Removing live crimped primers seems silly. Why not pop them first pointed away from your faceNo, but I cringe when the POP. I'd rather not mess with that anyway. I dont mind doing them by hand.

Wait you’re removing LIVE crimped primers?? Why?? If you want the primers, load and shoot the cases. If you don’t want the primers, pop them in a rifle and decap.
I'm not removing live primers. It's the pop when the crimp lets go.You must have your reasoning. I would just load them up using the military primers. A decapping die works wonders for removing live primers. Although a few here and there get damaged.
Like my squirrel daddy pins for crimped .223, money well spent IMO.squirrel daddy pins
Agreed, I have removed live primers from non crimped primer pockets, they are easy. I would NEVER remove a live primer from a crimped primer pocket.Wait you’re removing LIVE crimped primers?? Why??

No, Im not doing that. Thanks though.Agreed, I have removed live primers from non crimped primer pockets, they are easy. I would NEVER remove a live primer from a crimped primer pocket.
The pop was very misleadingI guess our bad presumption was that they were live. Removing live primers isn't necessarily a bad thing. We all have had need to do just that. Just something where safety considerations are made. Don't think anyone thought you weren't smart. I certainly didn't. You know what they say about those who presume. Sorry for my ID10T moment.
I think I may have an extra decapping die if you have need of one let me know. Again, you may or may not be a reloader. In case your aren't then my offer is kinda mute.
Go to the Mighty Armory website and check out their decapping dies…
They are pretty stout pins…
