[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 380278, member: 9215"] Federal's priming compound is more sensitive than others. That makes them more reliable but also more susceptable to improper handling. That includes seating them high so an auto's bolt can cause a slam-fire or clumsy efforts to seat the primers may set one off. Neither of those are the fault of the primers, handled/used correctly they're great. ?? I've used all brands of primers, including thousands of Federals, in my Lee Auto Primes for well over twenty years without problems. But I also stop and find out why any aren't seating as they should, rather than just leaning on the handle harder. Clumsy, thoughtless people can injure themselves with a spoon but that's not the spoon's fault. [/QUOTE]
