While priming some .30-06 cases with my Lee ram prime gadget, I somehow managed to seat a primer sideways in the pocket. Now I can't remove the shell from the shellholder. I can, however, remove the shellholder from the press, which I did. I'm sitting here looking at it and wondering how the heck I'm going to remedy the situation.

I'm afraid to just pull it out with a pair of needlenose pliers, lest it explode. Can I soak it in something to render it inert and then pull it out?

Thanks in advance for suggestions.
