Al and Ed,
I gave the punch out the primers advice forever, until recently I was playing with a new fancy priming tool that I need to get busy and finish a review of (21st Century stainless). I wanted to get a feel for the adjustable seating depth feature, so I picked up a fired PPC case, that had come from my DGA and mashed the primer. It seated the primer below flush again (It had started that way.) and flattened the crater as well. I always have my hand priming tool right there when I am setting a FL die, and I still have a pretty good grip for an old guy. It looks like there is one less thing that I need to carry to the range.
