Safely disposing of Failed reloads - primers

[Sergeant Hartman]

He probably did...I know I would likely.

I will reseat them in cases to reload but these are usually the first or demo rounds.

This was actually a govt test to see how responsible senior members are - most of you FAILED!!!!!
Geeez they are loud in the fire tho

Did you poo MM?

yep

it had enough power that the die flew out of my hand and I had a big hole burnt into the palm of my hand
I could not tell the missus or she would have carried on about how stupid I am doing a foolish thing like that
anyway as I said I have not had the problem with wobble dies in a press
I would not worry about a few but if it were a decent amount, a hundy or more I would

Back to the OP's original query, yes you can pop off primers all day without doing any harm to your firearm. Be aware that they are surprisingly loud but, so if you're doing it in a suburban back yard the neighbours will hear it. It'd kinda spoil your day to have the police SERT team kickin' down your door.....

I started de loading, de priming the best of the remaining cases not earmarked for other stuff.
150 cases in total and closer inspection has meant ive tossed 30 or so of those due to being over cautious.

This means I’ve now got 2 bags of 60 x 30-06 brass. So if you know someone who might be doing it a bit tough but enjoys their 06 shooting/reloading - send me a PM with their name and address details and I’ll post one of the bags out. This brass is all ex factory rounds. Majority of these have been fired from factory, resized then reloaded but not fired due to mix up with steyr / sauer.

indeed they do make some noise when fired without powder and projectile but completely harmless otherwise.

Firing them off is the simplest method. But it is boring!
So, I had a fair qty of 38Spl rounds that I was given to get rid of. I broke them down & while I was doing so, was pondering on what to do with the primers. I could have just used them but thought it better to start fresh.
Then I thought well I'll be stuffing round for a while to fire them all off so I thought what could I do to make it 'worthwhile'.
Lightbulb moment! I spotted a box of soft earplugs. Squish one up and place in mouth of case. Push in till flush with case mouth.
Load & fire! Bingo! Indoor training rounds.
Hehehe. Had some fun for an hour.

Wouldn't the plugs go too deep into the ear when fired in ?

Lol! Be one way to make sure the barstards stay in eh!
