[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1508878, member: 2736"] Wow. I have never had a primer go in any priming tool. Glad you weren't hurt. But I had heard about it happening and saw the warnings especially with some of the thin cupped pistol primers. Knowing how explosive the priming material is, I decided to change before it happened to me. I am sure that for all of the primers in the magazine to go off (Normally 100 ) it had to be full and the flash from the one, set them all off. They may have increased the cup thickness and solved this problem, but once I changed, I have never gone back because I never want a primer to go off accidentally, and for sure a bunch of them at one time. Here is a copy of the instructions with each lee priming tool that gives a warning about primer magazine explosions. if the manufacture warns us, it must have happened at one time or another. [URL]https://leeprecision.com/cgi-data/instruct/PT1204.pdf[/URL] I hope this problem has been solved, because the hand priming tools are nice and handy. A side note: I new a good shooter that stored all of his primers in Mason jars, and for many years myself and others had told him not to remove primers from the container they came in. His theory was that the jar would keep them drier. all this came to an end when the whole corner of his garage was blown off from his jars of primers going off from being pushed off the self by some varmint and hitting the concrete floor. The fire marshal did all kinds of test to see if he was handling explosives because there was no fire. Imagine that happening today with all that is going on :eek:. Maybe I'm to cautious, but we must be careful with primers because they are the most dangerous component we use in re loading. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
