Remove unfired primer from case?

[dbshabo]

Short of putting the case in my rifle and pulling the trigger, is there a safe way to remove an unfired primer from a case?

Just like you would a fired primer, decapper + eye protection

Gently with a decapping die.

Great advise I have done it that way for years never had a problem but the eye protection is a smart precation and I always wear it.

I have deprimed quite a few live primers. Never had one go off. Go slow and should not be a problem. Eye pro as always.

Just put a drop of oil on it and then deprime it. Safest way I've found.

Modern primers are quite resistant to damage from oils. That doesn't much matter, it's perfectly safe to decap live primers normally. But it's a very good idea not to let a pile of live ones accumulate in a primer catcher tray.

I have also depimmed a lot of live primers without a single problem.

And like Rick Burgess of the "Rick and Bubba" radio show says, "Common sense has become a superpower."
