Primers Can they go bang while reloading? Stories from the past

by Rick on May 28, 2009

If you have never had a primer go off while you have been loading you are fortunate. Reloading military brass with out removing the crimp is at some time or other a sure bet to set off a primer. How does this happen? Easy while at the range you as a reloader will police up your brass as well as brass left behind by other shooters. As you sort the brass by caliber you miss that 45 ACP round that was laying among the other brass. If you don’t notice it while depriming, you will notice it when you prime the case. How? By not having removed the military crimp you will cause the primer to tilt or be way to tight to seat in the case, thinking that it is just going in hard you apply more pressure and POP things get lively for a second or two. With firearms and ammunation we are alway taught safety first. The same goes for reloading, at a mimnum you should wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Never have your primers in bulk storage outside of their properly marked storage boxes. While reloading can be fun you must use a certain amount of caution.
