Had a primer go off while reloading today

I have also been handloading for many more years than I will admit. This includes rifle, shotgun and handgun cartridges. So far zero primer detonations during the handloading process. Also, I might point out a minimal amount of hang fires in that many years of shooting from both handloaded and factory ammunition. Knock on wood!!

Always a good idea to use eye protection anyway!!!

Edited Remark: I have used the same RCBS Press for the entire time.
