Sam Sackett Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Great reminder. Hand priming can get monotonous after a while and if we’re not careful we become “brain dead” and can make mistakes. Thanks! Sam Sackett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singin' Sue 71615 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 True story... I hate to tell on myself...but... Was loading shottys onthe Mech. Wasn't wearing saftey glasses...wished I had earplugs... While loading, a bb fell into the primer cup. I did not see it. Primer dropped in and I pulled the arm down and HOLY SH--!!! Hands imediatley went to check my eyes and face for blood... After my ears quit ringing and my mind clared, I checked the machine. God was with me, as this could have been a trip, at minimum, to the eye Dr. I am very cautious 'again' and REALLY stay alert now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonel Kraken Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Thank you! I always where my reading glasses when reloading but they don't wrap around. I read this and ordered a pair of full lens safety glasses for the reloading shed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkey Flats Jack Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Been there done that on a progressive press. I'm no longer in a hurry when loading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
