Hello all,
I use the priming system on my press and first began reloading 357 which uses the small pistol primers. Just setup for 45 acp today and the first primer seating felt wierd and when I inspected the seat, the primer was in the wrong way! I though that I had set it in the cup correctly but I reloaded a couple more and then I felt the fourth do something different, and sure enough it was flipped. Stopped reloading and checked some websites and found the fix, there was a bur that was causing the spring to deppress then pop out flipping the primer. Anyway, I have two brand new cases that have primers I need to remove. If I soak them in motor oil overnight, will that deactivate them so I can run through the deprimer?
Thanks,
