Re: BEHOLD this reloading difference
While a detonation is never wanted, I wouldn't be too concern about a bullet head being on at the time of detonation. Certainly a loud bang and some smoke, but without a chamber to build pressure, the projectile wouldn't be moving all that fast. I'd be more concerned about open powder containers igniting as a result. Regardless, glad you're okay and the lesson is learned.
Generally, when something is amiss with a round, I break it down and start fresh. The extra 5 minutes it takes isn't worth setting your house on fire.I'm only here for the wood c-rings.

Re: BEHOLD this reloading difference
Propellant ignited and forming enough pressure to defeat the tension, sending the bullet outward, is going to have lateral dispersal between the case mouth and the airborne bullet's base, at a velocity and containing particles that an exposed hand, arm and eyes would likely suffer some degree of trauma. On the described primer situation, I might pull the bullet with a collet puller, but certainly not with an inertia hammer. If not able to use a collet, I'd crush the middle of the case and trash it. I'd also consider drilling a hole and emptying it then trashing it.
For all who think totally dry Pledge or Behold will have a negative effect on my primers, if that happens, I will be sure to report it. I will also report having no problems.

Re: BEHOLD this reloading difference
Is drilling a hole in a loaded round dangerous?
With the heat and all?

Re: BEHOLD this reloading difference
It's brass....they used brass tools in mines because it generates no spark. The heat generated by a drill is controllable...cool it with a wet cloth. I wouldn't be afraid to do it, but I can see where some would say no way.

Worth a try, keep the heat down, oil the bit.

So far, have fired a few hundred pistol rounds with primers hand-loaded through the now-dry Pledge-lubed RCBS hand primer. All performed well.

I keep trying to get it across that the Behold dries very rapidly, and I polish it with a dry cloth and the resulting lubrication IS NOT A LIQUID. Don't know how else to share it. Done.
