I've just recently started reloading with Lee 4-hole turret and their safety prime system. I was warned that their safety prime system was crap, but I didn't listen. Man, I wish I did. It worked sorta ok for about 2 minutes before jammed up and then broke. I've since discovered it's way easier and faster to just pick a primer up and put it on directly on the press myself than to use that stupid safety prime dispenser.
So I guess my question is: why do both Lee and the primer manufacturers warn you to never directly handle the primers? Is it just a safety/liability issue that the company lawyers insisted upon in anticipation of a primer going off in someone's hands? Or is it some other reason, like oil from my skin damaging the primer and preventing it from firing?
