I popped a small rifle primer tonight haha, burnt my damn finger and left a burnt ring on the bench. I decided to pull the bullets from all my duds and oops and range pick up live rounds which sucks. I deprimed all the pistol brass on the press but I had some rounds left over from bullet boy ammo that wouldn't feed in the AR, I was gonna reclaim the bullets and deprime the brass for cleaning, I was on the last one popping the primers out with the pin and hammer and POP! Oh we'll the brass is in the tumbler and I will run it through the cleaner tomorrow then put it up for trade.
I have removed a lot of live primers over the years on the press and with the pin/base set up and this is the first time one popped, pretty loud in a small room.
I put a load of .223 and 30-06 in the tumbler, they installed a new LanTac Dragon muzzle brake on one of the ARs. About half way through the installation, I turned off the tumbler...it's amazing how much louder 30-06 is than tumbling just .223 or handgun brass! I couldn't stand the racket. Then I put a few hundred M193 on stripper clips, while watching videos about old lever-action rifles by Hickock45. Very relaxing.
Shooting some test groups of 168 bthp. Not so good so far. Maybe the barrel needs more break in.
What kind of groups you getting?
That post was while I was letting the barrel cool. I'm happier now. Xbr8208 with Speer (I know sierras better), 168 hpbt .2 jump 43.5 grains (book max) remington 9-1/2 primers lc brass. Don't know the speed. Five shot group. The other hole isn't from
me.

And the primers, I may go up another tenth or two since the groups tightened from 43.2 to 43.5.
