[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2494976, member: 115658"] I would never use a tube feed primer tool. The thought of those unseparated primers stacked on top of each other scares me - chain reaction. I use a cheap press mounted Lee priming tool, one primer at a time. I might guess that a combo of primer dust & static caused the blast. Looking at those pics will make for increased safety proceedures. LIke make sure my body is grounded, when priming tight primer pockets cover case with draped rubber car mat. when unpriming live primers use the car mat. I notice that hand type priming tools have a gate between the primer tray & shell holder/ram to prevent chain reactions. Seeing the pic of a primer detonation inside a contaner having individual primer pockets has me concerned. Possibly radio frequency (RF),emissions, doubt a cell phone would do that? Within the next 10 minutes my primer stash will be separated - no more than 1000 per space. Lead styphnate, the stuff in primers, is an explosive. If it gets wet than dries out it is still an explosive. I might guess that Federal primers are packaged to better resist chain reaction blasts. [/QUOTE]
