When I was nine or ten years old, I pilfered a rifle primer from my uncle (who became my handloading mentor a few years later) and took it out to the driveway and smacked it with a hammer. In less than the blink of an eye I developed a very, very healthy respect for the little doodads.
 I can just imagine you did !!! Thnx for the laugh. Jerry

Rider,
I never tried a primer with a hammer, but remember the little boxes of roll caps that went in our cap pistols? ............well not only did my ears ring for a while, but my butt stung for a while when my dad discovered the burned face on his favorite trim hammer. Uh, primers? Universal depriming dies work great on live primers.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.
