Result was a neat .224 sized whole cut in the bottom of finger and small but deep puncture in the top of finger from decaping pin. Not to mention more squealing than I’d like to admit and some choice language as well.

Got me thinking, surely that’s not the worst someone has done amongst all you fine folk?

And the prize goes to @ Missalot

I've done the cookie cutter on the case mouth but not the deprimer through the top
That takes real skill
