Was a bullet seated and how the heck do you manage to get it in the top of your finger nail? Anyone you know or just a photo from the web? Like to hear the back story.

If it was me no way in heck I would go to the doctor that way. Unless the medical staff had some firearms knowledge chance are they would have called the bomb squad before working on that.

Obviously a new experimental process...gave me the shivers!

Ouch... Truly hope they don't set off the primer to take it off...

I'm with the "how did they do that?" crowd.

I can't think of a time I have had my finger upside down between a case and die. The only thing I can think of was he was picking up a press that for whatever reason had a case in it and the handle fell, just a guess but that's a hard one to explain.

I KNEW better than to click on that link!

[country gent]

Looks like the pic was taken in a car or truck by the surroundings showing in the pic. But I too am in the how did he do that. Judging by the pic it appears to be pretty deep.

I wonder how long before he has to trim that nail again? I too wonder how?

Gosh, when I crushed the tip of a finger (won't tell you how), it took over a year before nail was semi normal. The tip bone was broken just a bit. I still have numbness in that finger. Glad it wasn't the trigger finger.

I've seen a guy punch through a finger with a press that you punch precision holes in sheet metal with. This looks worse. Bet he was forcing the issue and forgot where his finger was.

Folks get hurt or killed all the time around equipment because they do something you shouldn't. I guess it could have been worse. A lathe could have killed him, same with a PTO driven implement, lost the entire had with a shear or lawn mower. I bet in a year, he will be able to pick his nose with that finger but I bet he will never put it in a running machine again.

That's not an acceptable method of trimming your fingernails.

[dikman]

Someone posted that picture on my thread (which made me feel slightly better after my mishap), but yeah, I couldn't figure out how that could happen.

[am44mag]

Oh dear God... That's a... That's a bad day right there. I've gotten tagged by a decapping pin before and that hurt like a mother... This is much much worse.

[Grmps]

Can't see the hole where the decapping pin went through the other side of the finger, looks like the pin and the case hit both sides of the bone and the case mouth bent. The guy must have tough bones.

[MT Chambers]

Must be one of these guys that has his Lee press mounted upside down.

check post #14 to see the story and machine which was not a Lee

[kayala]

Looks like machine was 1050 and the puncture was done by the casing alone. I wonder if he tried to "feel" how far decapping pin protrudes ?
