[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2494789, member: 1521"] The tube is well clear of a normal primer seating action. And normally there is no reasonable possibility of this event -during seating. But this did not happen with a normal seating action, as you could not have both hands on the tube AND operate the seating lever at the same time. So it comes down to how someone could set off a primer in that tube -while holding the tube with both hands. So what was he actually doing? Was he loading the tube, in a way needing 2 hands to do it, and then stuck it on the priming assembly after the event, so that it appears to have gone off with normal operation? Let's consider that he was trying to load/jam one more primer into the tube than it could hold. It's taking a lot of force, so he uses both hands, and maybe even slams the tube down against the tray to force the primer in. The other end of the tube is cotter pinned during loading operation, which would have stopped the primer stack from just blowing out that end (so blowing up the tube instead). [/QUOTE]
