I have been noticing an increase in threads discussing primer detonations, especially in progressive presses.
Is this really all that common?
Having personally loaded well over a two million (yes 2,000,000) rounds of ammo over 30+ years i have never had it happen.
I have crushed a few, loaded several sideways and seated about a dozen upside down. But I have never had, nor personally known of anyone who had, one actually detonate during priming?
So my question is have you, (not your brother-in-laws-sisters-ex-husbands-third-wifes-last boyfriends-uncles-grandfather) but YOU personally ever had a primer go boom in the press during loading?
