Kinetic bullet puller and primers
Do kinetic bullet pullers mess up the primers at all? Does some of the primer material get knocked loose and make the primer less effective?

never had a problem with any of the rounds I have pulled and re-seated. 0 -
Not a bullet puller issue but I had a primer drop in upside down and I seated it that way. I put my deprimer die in and slowly and carefully popped it out. I turned it over and seated it properly. I put the brass in the reloading block with the primer up. When I grabbed the casing, I noticed a little bit of yellow powder in the bottom of the reloading block. Will this primer be dead? Or less effective?
I marked it as a possible dud so that if it doesn't fire, I know why.0 -
don't know about that one. I would think that the powder was from somewhere else??? priming compound isn't really a powder per-se unless it deteriorated or was disrupted during de-priming the first time. Primers are cheap, I throw them away if I make a mistake with them, it's just not worth the hassle. 0 -
I have a problem with federal brass in my lee dies
for what ever reason I load a piece of federal 45 acp and the dang things won't gauge
some times I miss one and when I do I toss it in the "to be pulled" box
I removed bullet/powder & primers from those cases and notice a little yellow powder from the primers but they go BANG when reused.
Unless you run your press like a Jack hammer they shouldn't POP when removed even if they are upside down. unless you can generate enough force (like with a hammer) they can't go off (urban myth IMO)
the primer compound is like tannerite it takes a lot of velocity to start the explosion.0
