    Let's just say you're dead set on getting the primers out. Here's how you do it. Take your casing and put it in a deep well socket that's just big enough to fit. Drop in your punch, hang onto the socket and give the punch a smack with the ol' hammer. The primer is shorter than the square hole the ratchet fits in and the right size socket keeps it centered over the hole so they just pop right out. Well, maybe not that easy with the steel ones but you get what I mean.
