Can you remove the shellholder and case from the press? If so, just pry the primer out with a small screwdriver or pick.sigpic

even thought it requires an impact to set off the primer, keep your eyes and ears onComment

I would just deprime it with the press like it was spent primer.
You can use a piece of wood as a shield...Ronald Reagan once said that the most terrifying words in the English language are: "I'm from the government and I'm here to help".

just use the de-caping die, slow steady pressure, I have had hundreds of sideways and even upside down primers. (eyes and ears would be a good idea) but I have never and I mean never had one go off.
(just to test I have taken primers in a pair of pliers and made them flat none have gone off) they are more stable then you think. but do have eyes and ears on.Q: What was the most positive result of the "Cash for Clunkers" program?
A: It took 95% of the Obama bumper stickers off the road.

Just get it out with some small pliers. If you are worried about it going off, soak it in some oil. Wear your eyes and ears of course.Comment

I agree with PDQ, just slow steady pressure with the press should do it. But that might depend on the press you have if you even can do that. If you can do it, try that first. It's probably the simplest.Comment

Put a drop of petroleum based oil on it. It will deactivate the primer.Comment
