[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1509344, member: 30902"] If I remember right I've had 3 in the course of loading tens of thousands of rounds and the last one was probably back in the early 90's. In each case the only primer that went off was the one that got crushed. Even if the entire tray were to flash it should pose that big of an issue unless the loader is doing something really stupid like looking down into the case through the neck. Yes, each one has considerable force but the tray cover doesn't have enough resistance to build any significant pressure before failing. The only other weird thing I've had happen related to primers was once when I accidentally deprimed a live primer it went off. No damage, but it was an eye opening experience. Novice reloaders really should find an NRA basic reloading class and take it if for no other reason than to get the safety aspects beaten into their heads instead of just winging it like most of us did. A lot of us had mentors to help us along the way but half or more of them weren't nearly as safety conscious as we need to be and we tend to mimick our mentors of course. It's easier to learn it right from the start and always be safety conscious than it is to retroactively learn and correct ourselves as is true with most things in life. [/QUOTE]
