Is this really a common problem?

Never while priming or decapping

Although if I had it wouldn't have been in a press. For many many years I have primed as a separate operation.

My Lee turret, Auto-Prime and I have put them in upside down, crosswise, sideways and any number of different ways. So far I haven't detenated any primers. I even crunched one bad enough that the priming compound sprinckled out. I will put it to luck and luck only. Like many of you, I have primed thousands of pistol, revolver and rifle cases. My turn will come. Of that I am certain. POP!!

Is this really a common problem?

Have YOU, personally, ever had a primer detonate during loading.

Nope. NEVER had it happen in my single stage press.

I had it happen only ONCE in my single stage press.

I had it happen more than ONCE but less that SIX in my single stage press.

I had it happen more SIX times in my single stage press.

Nope. NEVER had it happen in my progressive press.

I had it happen only ONCE in my progressive press.

I had it happen more than ONCE but less that SIX in my progressive press.

I had it happen more SIX times in my progressive press.
