When Dad was teaching me how to reload, like every other teenager, I thought I knew it all and got complacent. I was decapping and sizing what I remember to be an absolutely enormous pile of .45ACP brass. Anyhow, I was mindlessly picking them up from the bucket, lubing, seating, and throwing the rockchucker's arm - then - removing, and repeating. Well Dad was in the other room and I grabbed one, ran it through the press and at the top of the upstroke - CRACK-POW! - I literally peed myself a little and Dad came running into the laundry room where the reloading bench was. Everything was fine, my ears were ringing, but everything was fine. Somehow or the other a primed case had ended up in the wrong pile.
Glad you got them out, OP. All the others' advise is solid. Any petroleum-based spray or soak will neutralize them. Soak it overnight and gently deprime them and done.
