Reloading 223rem and 5.56

Most reference books say that oil will cause primers to deteriorate.  Especially penetrating oil.

So perhaps a small squirt of some kinda oil into each cartridge case will start the deterioration process.

To check out the above assertion, let's get unfy to run an X by Y experiment with different oils (WD40, RemOil, Kroil, BLU, etc.) and different oil amounts and soak times to see (a) if it works, (b) which is the best (worst) oil, and how long it takes.

BTW.........Where do reloaders dump their mistakes???.

  usually at a gun show,

   If you use a oil to kill the primer, you will have a very hard time getting the inside of the case clean of it, just slowly decap it as you would any other case, ive done it many times, the Dillon has a habit sometimes of flipping a primer .

zofoman:
...some cheap advice....

fortunateComa:
Here's what I use for reloading a three hole Lee turret press with auto index are removed. Would the primer installer in the picture work to reseat the primers?
Can I use the full length resizing / decapper die, adjusted so that it gently pushes the primer out without resizing ?
I'm asking just for "future" reference .

NENick:
I blew up a small rifle primer while impatiently forcing it into a piece of Lake City brass. It scorched my finger. I certainly could see it taking an eye had it been pointed at my face.
