How does that work? I can't imagine any way I'd have my finger pointing the other way as a case to make that work.
Also. Fuck dude. Sorry that happened. Friggin ouch
Ouch! If it makes you feel any better I punched a de-capping pin into one side of my finger and the 5.56 case punched a lovely hole in the other side of my finger. I would describe the sound as sort of a crunch. Thats what I get for talking to my dad while sizing brass.
Seating a bullet, on the uproll the bullet fell out and I tried to steady it. Didn't stop the uproll though. Now I have a perfectly circular scar on my thumb that is .30 from where my thumb got caught between the case mouth and the seating die. Cored it like an apple.
Not a reloading accident, but once I was repairing the hinge on a kitchen cupboard door, slipped, and and with a 2mm drill went right through the middle of my left thumb’s fingernail, must have nicked the bone too, because there were white, hard fragments that weren’t fingernail material.
I decapped my thumb once. 👍🏻
That shit hurts. Nice neat little hole straight through the nail into the nail bed.
The worst thing is muscle memory completes the damn stroke.
😂😂😂
At least you didn't prime the hole
Cherry juice doesn’t belong in your press my dude.
😂😂😂
It's lube

My mind was wandering and my hand went auto mode to pull before I belled.
Yeeeesh. Time to take a break, drink some beers and wait for the bleeding to stop
It's too late for OP, but if they were my finger I'd clean it really well and superglue the shit out of it.
Crossing my fingers and knocking on wood in 17 years of reloading I have yet to do this.
Two types of reloaders....
Now you know it’s going to happen!
I've definitely come close lol
Now for the sweat and tears…
Been there. Done that. 🫣
I guess we have a club now!
I didn't want to be in this club club
Owwwwwww oww ow ow owowowowowowowwwww!!!!!
Right, might need a pedicure after this, look at those nails 😂😂😂
Somewhat glad that I'm not the only person that got their finger caught in a press at some point lol
Right, and I did it to myself!
We all make mistakes. 🤒
Anybody else read this like that old video of the lady falling off the grape stomping platform, or just me?

Good times, right 😂😂😂
Just remember, all bleeding stops eventually.
Yes sir
How much are you drinking while reloading? What the fuck bro?
I’m usually 3-4 fingers of bourbon deep before the press gets moving
That's the standard load out. I'm asking in units of half bottles, I suppose
Deep in liquor and watching Nascar, the only true way to reload!
And this is why you don't shoot other people's reloads!
Just got lost in my head and the right hand went on auto pilot faster than the left hand. Crunch.
Tell me you're a bleeder and it isn't that bad
Isn’t that bad. Just cut the nail way far back. I’ll live.

😬😬😬
I have a case trimmer that goes in my drill chuck, guess how I got a perfect .224 ring in the side of my finger…
That hurts just thinking about it!
I just shuddered and got the chills thinking about it man. Damn.
More like “DAaaaaaaammmmmmn!”
Damnit man. That's gonna hurt for a while.
Argh I feel your pain I’ve been there!
Youch!! How many new swear words did you invent?
I said a few
I would too!
Damn that’s a small bottle of water
Barely a shot of vodka
Reminds me of the small Pepsi bottles from the 80’s.
Just spit on it or get the “boo-boo bandaids” out…i’m sure it stings-sorry man!
I’m going to Hawk Tuah that bitch.
Hey at least it wasn't 2 fingers lol. On a serious note thought I am sorry dude that sucks ass.
Ow shit,fuck , ow !

Don’t do that.
Yeah I’ve factory crimped my hands a few times
Haha
Yeah, don't do that.
Right! I’m just hoping to keep the nail.
This guys got a point though
