I know the best way to deprime live primers is to fire them in the gun. my problem is that the shell will stick in the rifles chamber, I bought once fired shell and not fired formed to my rifle. I am getting a press and dies for christmas (I bought them and picked them up). How would, if anyway, you deprime live primers with out firing them out of your gun?
I used a lee classic handloader, when I started.

Yeah, you don't want to go shooting that corrosive stuff down your barrell.
Try taking your sizing die and run the primer pin all the way out. That way it will not try to size the case but the primer pin will still attempt to knock out the primer and go VERY slow. I've had to remove the occasional primer that flips over during the priming process and inadvertantly seated in the case. Kinda nerve racking but I've yet to have one go off. It's not the safest thing in the world so you want to be very carefull.
Or....
You could load up apowder charge andsome throw away bullets and fire them through your gun...you spend the primer and fire form your brass all in one step.
I tried something, I have a couple of the lee hand deprimer tools (the ones you have to use a hammer), I was able to knock the one I tested it with out with out sitting off the primer, only problem is that the tool is now stuck in the case. so it is going to take me a few tries but I well get it out, I have had that happen before.
if I am able to get them out, is it advised to reuse the primer.

I wouldnt chances are the priming compound was ruptured and probably wouldnt be consistant or reliable.

ok I'm really silly but why do you want to remove the primers. Set the expander die really short, resize the case with out touching the primer, install powder, go boom. Just a thought
Just don't try to decap live CRIMPED-IN primers such as you find in MILITARY cases. Decapping live primers from commercial ammo or cases you have previously primed is usually pretty safe, as long as you apply the pressure slowly!!
