Evidently, it was lodged under a wheel weight clip. I was reducing wheelweights to the purer lead form into ingots for the mold. The bucket of lead was underneath my press and I guess the primer feed kicked one to the case, and another to the bucket, where it went unnoticed. After this mishap, the bucket was cleaned and moved to the other side of the room for better safety. This I might add, happend in year 2 of my 30 years of reloading. It happens to us all eventually; Murphy make house calls.

if you have ever done any bullet casting and had ONE primer go off, you have a molten mess in a 5 foot circle, including up and down.. Multiply that by 1000. You will understand then the primers are HIGHLY Volatile..
