Primer seated upside down
First time I've done it.
How to safely deal with it? |

Hydraulically, fill case with water and smack a rod of the appropriate size.

Just knock it out the usual way. Close your eyes on the down stroke.

Push it out with a slow push on the press handle.
I have done a number and not popped one yet. I paint it black with a marker and reuse it right way up, but save the round for practice. |

Wear safety glasses and earmuffs while decapping. I've done it many times with no issues.

P.S., in 39 years of loading - some quarter-million rounds - I've only up-ended a primer twice.

Make sure primer catch bin is empty, to avoid looking for one good primer in a bin of spent primers. great idea to mark primer with permanent marker, if it should fail to fire in the future, you'll know why.
