APS Primer Strip Question

[richard295]

Question is can primers be easily removed from APS Strips after already mounted in the strip. Can you just twist them out with your hands. I had to buy this kind of primer because it was all there was in the CCI BR4 primer. I use conventional RCBS Priming Tools. Hoping I don't have to buy the RCBS APS hand held primer. Your advise would be appreciated.,I just bought the primers and won't have them for a week.

Thanks for nothin'. I do have one of the reloading tools but, since you asked, I just had to twist and bend one to see if they would pop out this way. They will. you may have to push a few out of each strip but it really shouldn't be a problem. Now you will have to excuse me, I have a primer strip to reload.

Just like CZ said, all you need to do is poke the primer out with a ball point or anything like sized. No difficulty at all.


save the strips as you may one day wish to use that system- goes like a house a fire for priming when using the single stage press.
It is fast and you get a good feel when seating the primers- have tried Lee and Hornady but prefer the strip method when not on the progressive press.
