Hydraulic them out by filling the case with water,finding a bolt that fits into the case neck and smacking with a hammer.

Note: you cannot have anything under the primer itself.
 
Not worth the risks involved! If its to pull the main charge ? I have done this many times , you can fire off the primer ! If you really want the primers out live ? Its just not worth the risks !
 
just use a kinetic hammer to remove the bullet + powder and pop the dud primers out
theres no bullet head or powder, they are just once fired empty cases. I have just ordered a tumbler so would like to prep these today, but havent ordered al the tools yet etc

Easiest way is to deprime them as you resize on a press. That way you know if they're resized or not 👍
 
they are all fired.
So to get this right.... You have once fired brass and you want to pop the old primer out ? Your re-sizing die will come with a hardened pin that pops the primer out . Do not skip the resizing die part or you risk jamming cases in the die or being un-able to remove the brass from the rifle chamber .
If your brand new to this , get some hands on help from an experienced re-loader or read one of the many guide books on re-loading .

Or you tube by the thousands.
