I use a lee universal decapper in the sizing station to remove any that are stuck.

The size of the walnut media I have blocks the entire pocket so that?s how I ensure that doesn?t happen. It?s too large for the flash hole itself.

I figure it would just blow it forward and burn with the powder. May cause a slight difference, but why not remove it if you can?

My problem is much different as it blocks the primer pocket and must be removed for the primer to seat. Either way, I think the decapper should remove it.

Man. I bet some of you goody-two-shoes even stick to published load data too.

Started to setup my lee APP. Have a few buckets of brass to remove the crimp from and my other ways of doing it are too slow. The primer crimp remover kit should be here this week.

For the most part, yes. I find acceptable loads within the ranges they publish.

Same thought here when I ordered the color. Made me chuckle. I am firmly in weird dad territory these days.
