I'm gonna post a bit of summary to help make this plainer.
The cartridges that were being worked with are 25-06, the die is a lee collet neck sizer. The first time these shells were sized they where not primed. But alas, Murphy was present and the instructions for the seating die (1/4 turn) were followed, rather then the sizing die (full turn). This mistake went unnoticed until the bullet seating stage. In an effort to save the primers the modification with the washers to suspend the depriming pin was formulated. DEFINETLY an EPIC fail! A better idea was to pull the pin out of the sizing stem. This done the shells were properly sized and loaded.
A serious mistake with strange looking results, but thankfully resolved back to normal. As to the danger of it, for sure reloading mistakes have terrible potentials, but this was not to bad since the neck sizing die doesn't effect headspace or anything thing critical other than bullet tension.
