Caution ------------ Warning ------------- Danger
Take extra care to make sure reloaded primers are fully seated in the case prior to assembling your ammo.
Today I assembled 50 LPP and installed them in my modified 38 Sp cases.
After the initial 3 hr bake at 120 degf, I brought them into the house. I was looking at one an noted that the primer was just proud of the case base. I went through the batch and found another 6 with the primer sticking up a little. I took the 7 cases into the garage and ran them back through my Lee hand priming tool to get them all at least flush. I applied pressure very slowly and carefully, but still had 1 of the 7 go off.
Some guns are capable of pushing a proud primer further into the case when chambering a round. Unless we can figure out how to stop getting these EPH 2x primers going off when being seated in a case, making sure all primers are seated at least flush before loading the case is more important than ever. If you do not get these primers at least flush, these guns would be at risk for having the gun fire as a round is being chambered.
