Doing some loading today and had a holy shhit moment when a primer was mashed ,lucky it got pushed out of the primer feed and didnt go bang,a few years ago i had one go off when it got sheared in two ,that one set the other 100 primers off ,scared the living bejeezus out of me and blew half the press up sending it upwards and into the shed roof

Can you just chamber and fire them,thats what i doyour lucky day
I got 5 or so -308 cases with primers fitted but i'd like to get them out so i squirted a dose of wd40 inside & let sit,,,, so should be inert tho i'll wear me specs and press slowly to be sure.... then clean and warm dry em good
I use a lee auto prime or the priming arm on the lee press its slow but safe as houses
Can you just chamber and fire them,thats what i do
Just run em throu the decapper should be fine
I finally got around to getting my 272 full circle crank cleaned up. Unfortunately the OD ended up a touch too big. Ill pull it out and turn it down. It only rubbed on one small section of that case side, and could turn by hand. But I figured I could not be sure of clearances under load and op temp that I better not risk it.
On another note, there is a bit of corrosion in the crank area of the case. Not much but the powder coating has let go in spots. Should I bead blast it raw or leave as is? I hear that mag can corrode real easy and this saw will sit for periods of time....

Thought I'd share two failures you don't see everyday.
1st up oldest 066 we own that is still running that is and I honestly could not add up the hrs this saw has done put it this way a hell of a lot of hrs on this saw! Anyway bucking logs yesterday saw hits max revs in the cut and chain stops turning and immediately think snapped crank? (seen done that once B4 on a ms660) turn saw over for a look c and all looks good WTF?! so pull it apart and found this clutch carrier/spider all like shat it self!.. but got hell of a good run out of it and it was well past its used by date as you can see (pics)...
2nd failure few weeks ago when it was still running (useable B4 the stud thing) ms661 in the cut bit of crunching noises and **** and chain stops hmm WTF? lol as you can see .404 rim exploded into bits! even the old man said hes never seen a rim do that B4 only split in half when he was running 090's but never he seen one like this? as you can see (pics)....
Hope you guys have ya fires already cranking for a cold weekend! we might even get snow here Monday so they say awesome NOT ! ha...

in denial i was at fault i tested a few different files brands and sizes to work out what was up,,, all i did was blunt or **** a few chains or make them so aggressive in profile wos scary to use. This is just me getting lazy and not watching what im doin in belief im well versed in filing then blaming the outcome on anything but me,,,, so perfectly natural says my wife.....
& ahoy you mob, pls keep an eye out for Pine trees dying off.
http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/…/biosecurity/plant/pine-nematodes
An infestation of an exotic pine nematode (Bursaphelenchus species) was discovered in the wood of a single dying pine tree (Pinus species) in Sydney in March 2016. The infested tree and two other suspect host trees close by were removed and destroyed. The New South Wales Government is conducting surveillance of pine (Pinus species) host trees across New South Wales to determine any further infestations.
