When I first got into reloading almost 10 years I was shooting a lot of 40. And I loaded up a big batch approx 1200rds. Took them to the range and they were HOT. This was the same primer/powder recipe. I think the problem is that I put too heavy of a crimp on the case, which I believe make them hot. They blew the mag out the bottom of the gun. They have been locked in ammo cans since because I haven't wanted to deal with it.
I assume the only thing I can do is use the berry's hammer to knock the round out of the case, recycle the powder and throw away the projectiles. They are Berrys 160gn and they are dented so I assume they are trashed.
Them take the pin out of the sizing die and reload them.
I have heard of people removing the primers and re using them in another caliber. Is this easy and not dangerous?
Any other ideas?
