    Yep. Have seen it and done it.
    Was it a hand primer, Single stage press, or progressive press?

    I haven’t had it happen to me. However I have seen whole primer trays go up on commercial machines...that’s exciting


    Reloading...it’s like knitting for men.

    Glad to hear you’re ok. That’s something I hope I never experience.

    Definitely a learning experience. Had a primer detonate while I was hand priming. Took me a few hours to get my hearing back to normal.
