I've had several POP on me while priming, not that big of a deal unless you have gum in your mouth and bite your tongue as it happens..!!!CDH wrote:Primers make quite a pop don't they!?!?!? I sometimes get careless when running my reloading press and leave off the safety glasses...but priming is one thing I NEVER do without eye protection. They are the one thing I expect to try and hurt me someday while reloading.

Yes, that actually happened...The bite hurt more than the POP..!!!

ps..What helps me to wear safety glasses is that I have 5 pair, one on each bench within easy reach at all times. That way I have no excuse & can't get lazy and not look for them.
Whatever works for you.
Like an old shop foreman use to tell someone who was not wearing their glasses...." Do you have a seeing eye dog picked out yet?"
