I have 60 rounds of factory loaded PMC 7MM W'by ammo I bought from a member here for the brass. How do ya'll deal with de-primimg the live primers?

Run it through a FL sizing die or decapping die and knock the primer out slowly. I do it all the time.

Just punch 'em out like spent primers, only be very gentle and wear safety glasses.

That's what I have always done in the past, just wanted to make sure I wasn't an idiot. I usually have only done 5 or 6 at a time. Thanks y'all

above plus slow steady pressure. Eye protection and I wrap a bench towel around press and die. (just cause LOL)

...or you could just pull trigger on them AFTER you pulled the bullets & dumped the fertilizer, and proceed as per normal.

I'd also swab out the barrel when you got thru to wipe all the leftover trash.

Done this both ways - slow but steady in the press, or for lots of them, chambered and fired the empty primed hulls & added to the pile to be reloaded.

I'd probably just shoot them.

I just punch out the live primers like spent ones with a de-capping die. WEAR EYE PRTECTION and work slowly.

I do it all the time. Just be careful.

The last factories I pulled I reloaded with the factory primer in place. Otherwise I push them out AND SAVE THEM with the press.

I put a little water in each casing, it can't go off when it it gets wet. Then deprime it.

For factory ammo you could just shoot them

Has anyone had one actually fire when punching them out? I just shoot them.
