Oh, I forgot one thing, when I pull a bullet and deprime it, can I reuse the primer if it looks ok?

Thanks again,

Assuming you're pulling the bullet to correct the load or OAL, there should be no reason to deprime. I just set the primed case back on the press in the next station.

I have deprimed live primers on my press - but like Hoss says it's scary as hell and not something you want to be doing if you can help it. I do not reuse a primer that I've pushed out. They are cheap enough that I don't feel like it's worth it.
