I've done the same thing without any hassles, wore leather gloves & a leather apron I used to use for hay making plus of course safety specs. Never had a commercial one go off on me but like @zimmer a couple of milsurp ones go pop. I use a Lee decapping die for all my decapping & this seems to contain any aggro quite happily. The die & shell holder got a good wash out with hot water & a spray with CRC afterwards when the milsurp primers went off on me, being as they were likely corrosive primers.
