Just wondering...I once was stuffing as few 9mm, and while sizing, noticed removed primers on the floor. Yes, I "resized" (and decapped) 3 or 4 cases that I had already sized AND PRIMED! I was surprised that the primers didnt go off,
but have read of others doing this without incident. Question, I have a few brass that have a primer mis-installed, a few got stuffed in sideways, and one that seated upside down. OK, I can see how a primer in a primed case (installed correctly) can be removed by the decapper, but what about these sideways ones, and most bothersome, the backwards one...wont it go off if the decapper presses on the live side? What are the limits on removing live primers?
Thanks,
