My best is having a live primer somehow getting into the boolit reject
can then pouring the rejects into the melt pot. I still have lead spots
on the ceiling and not a speck got on me. I check everything that goes
in the pot very carefully.
Had a friend melting down pewter ware. Didn't know about the
hollow handle - big splash of pewter all over the basement.
Oh, and I once notices something odd about the 303 round - primer
was inserted backwards.
Doesnt go Bang very well in that orientation.
The question is: How do you press and seat one backwards without it
going off?
Very carefully? OTOH, them Hindus are a very clever people ... eh
whot?
