I was at the range today working on my load for my Optima V2, 100 grains (v), 2FG, CCI 209 primer. After the first shot, the breech plug face got very dirty {I'd forgotten the o-rings that @michiganmuzzy sent me!}. That primer, and all subsequent ones were extremely hard to remove...essentially had to be pried out of the primer pocket. It got to the place that I was even spitting on the primer before placing it in the pocket in the hopes that would ease extraction. Any tips- other than the o-ring which I will make sure to have on my next time?
