I'm getting used to my new Dillon XL650 progressive press. Tonight I loaded some 44 Mags, 240 gr XTP over 10.7gr Unique with Winchester WLP primers. Wouldn't you know, out of 100 rounds loaded, one has an upside down primer. I don't know how it happened but its in there. I pulled the bullet and poweder but am trying to figure out what to do with this piece of brass. Its brand new Starline so I'd like to save it, but I don't want to even try to decap this. Don't want to just toss it in the trash either. Never had this issue before so I really don't know how to proceed. Any ideas?

I'd simply punch the primer out with the sizing/primer punching die & toss it into the bucket of empties waiting to be reloaded. No muss, no fuss.

OK, decapped it no problems. The Dillon dvd had me afraid to try at first. It has this warning section that makes it sound like decapping a live primer is certain mahem and death
, must be their CYA warning.
