But then again I never simply put a primer out and whacked it with a hammer either. Judging from the comments here, my childhood prediction as to outcome was right on. Started reloading with a Lee Classic Loader, and my 243 set would pop a cap every 100 cases or so. Only one that did, but it would definitely wake you up and leave some black soot on your hands. Wife didn't like that, either.
