So I spent a few hours in the garage last night hand De-priming 1000 .40 S&W cases that I bought here in the S&S section. I got through about 800 or so of the 1000 cases, and I guess I forgot to empty the spent primer catcher on my Frankford arsenal hand-held de-priming gun because the primer catcher popped out from the pressure of primers being pushed in when it was almost full. The primer catcher tube spilled into my bucket of de-primed brass. Some we on top, and I got those out, but I didn't want to dig through the bucket of brass to get the primers out as I figured they would separate out after wet tumbling when I put them in the media separator. When I was done washing, I dumped the water, put everything in the media separator, and cranked it to get the SS pins out. When I opened the basket I found about 25 or so cases that looked to be still primed, but the primers were barely in on most, and about 3 or 4 had primers in upside-down, and 3 were all the way in.
I know that I got the primers out of each one before putting it in the bucket, because I did it by hand, and you can see the decapping pin protruding from the decapping gun when you pull the casing back out.
They had to have come from the decapping gun, and were pushed back in while SSWT in my Frankford rotary tumbler. I didn't know that there was that much force generated on each case while tumbling. It was enough to push a few primers all the way in.
Anybody have this happen before?190256190257190258190259190260
