    It's a good ideat to not have any live ammo, primers or powder anywhere except for where they belong...

    I (unknowingly) once had a live primer stuck in the heel of my shoe and I kicked something in the living room (tile floors) and it went off. The dog, cat and wife all flew out of the room like an earthquake happened
    Regards,

    Thanks for sharing your experience Doubles Shooter, not all would but I got a good laugh at it.

    My one boom reloading was when I was teaching a friend to use an RCBS hand priming tool. He had a double feed, handed it to me to fix, and being ham fisted and using force when I shouldn't have I managed to triple feed it and detonate all three. They were magnum rifle primers too, took a few seconds of stumbling around to even realize what happened.
