Selling some previously primed brass to a gentleman in California.
I usually knock out primers with a center punch or I chamber them and pop them off with a firing pin.
For whatever reason I have lit off 2 of 2 with a center punch.
I also do not have a weapon in this chambering.
It is only 29 more pieces to Decap.
I am not interested in shipping primed brass to California. ATF rulings state that any two components associated with a cartridge makes for a round of ammunition. And California has unusual ammunition laws. So the brass will ship unprimed.
Anyone have a suggestion other than a welding glove and a center punch? Thanks in advance.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

H2O, let it sit a few hours.
I use a deprime die and slowly press live primers.

I run them them through the sizer die backed off with the decapper pin. Makes some noise, nothing you can't tolerate.
Like you I would rather torch them off in a firearm.

What Stormin Norman said. I use an inexpensive Lee Decapping die and just go slow & smooth. Never had one go off, (yet).

Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.

What I forgot to mention is that after doing a massive bulk reload I sold all of my leftover reloading gear... so slowly decapping on a press is out. My apologies on forgetting to mention that... I had decapped that way many times before.
I will soak in hot water... Thanks.
And try again.
---------------
Edit... 30 minutes of boiled water and all remaining were inert... OR... I got no more pops via dumb luck.
Thanks

this is more for berdan primers but it should work for your situation too, I remember seeing adds in gun mags back in the day, hydraulic removal - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FskNx4UBZvc
