    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Don't feel too bad, I've done that before ............... Twice

    And I suspect many here have also experienced this at one time or another.

    The important thing is the learnings taken from the experience.

    BTW, Lee dies don't do this as the decapper is mounted on a slip clutch.

    Cheers

    Arguing with an Engineer is like Wrestling a Pig in Mud.

    After awhile you realise the Pig loves it.

    lol
    yeah I don't relly like the set up on lee dies they aways seem to come lose for no reason
    in my hole time reloading ive had 3 broken decaping pins and one bent shaft I think that's pretty good
    I think if you take the time to set the die up properly when you get it you wont have any issues... but that's something I didn't do with this one it looked a little low but I didn't have a crescent in the shed to fix it and I thought well if I'm careful (famous last words) lol
