Default Primer Problem

I have a hand primer from RCBS and i put the rod that seats the primers in backwards so the first 2 primers i seated got dented and im lucky they didnt pop in my face. I was wondering if it would be safe to take this outside and fire the casings by themselves? I wasnt sure and i didnt want to mess my pistol up.

I have a universal decapper, as I like to tumble and clean my brass before it goes in the dies. I have used it to remove damaged primers, but you have to move S L O W L Y! You can also put a shot of WD40 in the brass and let it set overnite before removing, but still, do it slowly. (I bet I will get a bunch of guys jumping down my throat on this.)

if all you have is a primed case and you want to "deprime" them just shoot them in your gun....it won't hurt anything.....it'll sound a little like a .22 if fired outside so I'd muffle it in some old carpeting or something like that.
