Soaking primers is a waste of time. It does not deactivate most of them. Try soaking with whatever you want for 24 hours, dump out, put in gun, it will still go bang.

Shooting the primer is more fun, punching them out gently works just fine, have done it so many times I can't count a NEVER had one go off accidentally. We worked really hard and finally managed to set some off depriming with a die. It took a lot of trying and you had to wack them hard and fast with the deprime pin to get them to go off. Even when they do, it is a primer, they don't make much pop. NOTHING serious happened, they just made a pop sound. we did have to clean a little crud out of the die after setting off a few.
