I have been reloading for about 1 year and have primed over 10,000 cases by hand using my RCBS hand primer.
Last night while priming .223 rounds I had a (PMC) primer go off when I was removing the shell from the hand loader. It has been very dry in the house lately so I am guessing it was static electricity. It left a nasty black mark on one of my fingers and I now have an ammo can with 1999 good rounds and one dud.
What does everyone else do to prevent setting off primers with static electricity?
