so sunday i was making key chains out of 7.62 x39 rnds ,drilling out the primer wells and got to the last one and the casing slipped out of the vice and out of reflex i tried to grab it and drove a 1/4 in drill bit to the bone lost all feeling from my knuckle to the tip so9 you guys think my css skills were lacking well they are going to get worse .i have to wait 2 weeks and see if any feeling comes back i may need surgery.those who pray pray form a complete recovery as u guys know i am a mechanic so i need my hands dearly.thx in advanced fellow n00bs.o and i got lots of Vicodin so pain is not realy a problem.

I'm really sorry to hear that man :( With modern medicine and medical technology, I'm sure that you'll have full use of your hand again. Don't stress your hand in any way. All the best!

Wow, that sucks Slayer. Hopefully the feeling will come back and you won't have to go through surgery! I wish you the best!

carefull with the vics, seen lotta folks get hooked

ouch bro thats sounds horrible

Man.. That really sucks. If I lost any operation of my hands I would be devastated because I'm a musician. I'll pray for ya. I'm sure you'll have full use of your hands in no time. In the meantime have fun trippin on Vicodin.

I wish you a speedy recovery, man. Nerves do a pretty good job of healing themselves pretty quickly a lot of the time. For future reference, you can safely punch out primers from the inside. Drill a slightly-larger-than-the-primer sized hole in a block of wood, all the way through, and then like you're going to counter-sink it, drill a .30" hole down on top of it to hold the bullet. Get a long, thin nail and stick it down into the empty case and tap it with a hammer. The primer will knock right out.

No drills/vices required. It'll work every damned time, too.

Sorry to hear that Shredder but i'm sure it will work out, just take it easy and don't use that hand :) We're all wishing for a speedy and full recovery, take care brohemian :)

damn that sucks, made me cringe just reading it.
