Used mine today for the first time. It was a simple operation of decapping w/ a Lee Universal decapping die. Had a bunch of primed 44mag and special that were in a loading lot I bought. All primers came out easily and all are still useable. Somehow I managed to pinch my pinky on the next to last cartridge. Not quite sure how I did it. Guess I let it drop and it got in the way. No damage done and you sure are aware of where your fingers are while using if
