If anyone can figure out how to make a primer fall out of a loaded cartridge I’m all ears. I’d love to eliminate the primer from the equation when testing the case mouth but I’m not willing to risk eyes and fingertips to do it.
Also I was thinking of loading cartridges with cobalt chloride test paper and tossing those rounds into a pond for different lengths of time. So if anyone has access to a private pond/lake within a few counties of DuPage county Il, let me know.


You can safely de-prime a case. I’ve done it plenty of times. I use a lee universal de-primer die.

MikeinNC, I’ve done that a few times myself, I was talking about removing the primer without disturbing the seated round.

Sorry I haven’t felt like going to the garage to seat a few projectiles. This pneumonia from Covid really is kicking my butt.
