fit suppressor,fire them off...DO NOT decide to just poke end of barrel into your polar fleece vest instead to save time......somebody told me it burns/melts wee circles in the fabric.

No suppressor unfortunately and it's got a break permanently fitted, bigger broblem I'm worried that with the amount of force required to close the bolt on them that I'll do damage to the chamber. Is it possible to De prime them in the press I mean in theory it should be fine as its not a percussion hit that pushes them out, but can anyone confirm it's safe.... Ish ?

I found I didn't have to de prime it as when I bumped the shoulders with the sizing die it actually pushed the primes out anyway, wasn't expecting that as the die has a vent in it.
