A picture is worth a 1,000 words (stomach turning graphic)

Not me but I feel the pain.

How does that happen?

[itchytriggerfinger]

Wth? How?

[TrickyNicky]

Uh, one or two words to go with this seems necessary IMO. How does one avoid doing this?

[raildog]

WTH how does this happen

[Omega]

It happens when you stick your fingers into moving mechanisms of a progressive reloader.

Huh, someone gave a progressive the finger

[Dad03]

I'd leave it in there. Nice conversation starter.

[VERO1]

That's kind of like a pinky ring isn't it?

[Omega]

Wonder how they plug that up? That case cut a clean hole right through, probably bone and all.  Looks like a 300Blk case, so that would be at least a 7.62mm or 30 cal hole.

[toby1304]

Crimp or no crimp?

[hipower]

Thanks for the warning. But I clenched up and looked anyway. Dumbass.

 

Had to tighten up again. I hate pics of things like that. 

[Clod Stomper]

Nice job.  Looks like the pic was taken in the hospital.  

 

As others have asked, how on earth does that happen?

 

I'll take a "stab" at it.  He had a failure to eject.  Reached in the breech to dislodge it, and the bolt carrier flew forward.  Que?

 

Edit:.  I take it back.  Don't think it could have driven it through the finger that way.

[Peace]

What the what!!??    Is this person ok?  Do they still have a middle finger?

 

story!?  :)

 

oh yeah... If that's a 300Blk, that's a big finger.

[suspiciousmind]

You guys got it all wrong. It's the new body piercing fad.

[Dusty1234]

I'm hoping that was photo shopped..

[nightrunner]

That looks more like a 5.7 to me

[Wingshooter]

Throw in some powder and a bullet, and he can really shoot the bird :rofl:

[Ted S.]

That....is impressive.

[BrasilNuts]

It does look like a 300BLK. The primer is unfired so it happened while he was hand loading (lol). I'm guessing he has a automated press and stuck his hand in there and instantly regretted it.

I bet he'd done it 100 times...

[peejman]

Ouch.

:yuck: 100 TIMES!?!?

 

I thought just once looked like it would hurt, but 100 times? :rofl:

[kckndrgn]

Yeeeeeouch!

 

That's gonna leave a mark.

 

Assuming the case cut the bone cleanly wonder if they could re-insert the bone chunk and let it heal?  Other wise I would think that finger might need to be shortened a little?

[BigK]

That's one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I'd save that brass WITH my chunk of rotting bone/flesh inside and make a key ring out of it to remind me how stupid I was when i reached in that moving press.

[battleop]

I once got bit by the decapping die on one of my presses.   I didn't draw blood but I was also able to figure out I might need to stop before continuing.   There has to be more to this story.
