SAFETY REMINDER
Dear Valued Customer:
RCBS has received two reports of customers using tools to tap on live primers stuck in primer tubes.
In rare circumstances, primers can become lodged in tubes that are obstructed, damaged or improperly
maintained. As called out in the instruction manuals accompanying all RCBS primer tubes, RCBS
would like to remind its customers to never force or pound/tap on live primers, tap or pound on
loaded primer tubes or otherwise attempt to clear obstructions on your own. Doing so can cause
serious injury.
If you experience a feeding problem in a primer tube, follow these steps:
1. Ensure no primers are in the white plastic pickup tip.
2. Remove the white tip with pliers.
3. If possible, carefully pour the primers out of the tube and return primers to original
packaging. Do not use the tube.
4. If a stuck primer(s) remains, handle with care and take to your local hazardous waste
disposal facility.
5. Replacement tubes can be purchased online at RCBS.com or through an authorized dealer.
Warranty claims can be made by calling RCBS at 1-800-533-5000.
To avoid primer feeding problems, always follow these precautions:

Before use, always inspect tube for damage or interior obstructions.

Never use bent, damaged or obstructed tubes.

Ensure tube is free from primer residue buildup. Periodically clean inside of tube using soap
and warm water.
