Made a nice noise but didn't even drive the priming rod back out of the tool. No doubt it would have, but the hammer I used kept the rod inside the tool. Haven't had one go off since, even when decapping cases with live primers. Takes a pretty good whack to make them go bang. I tend to agree with John Woods (Aussie Gun Writer): Drinking beer is a better use of time. “Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans.” John Steinbeck
