Just purchased another reloading book to my library called "Modern Reloading" second edition by Richard Lee. In the chapter explaining primers it states DO NOT USE FEDERAL PRIMERS in the original auto-prime, auto-prime II,pro1000, and load-master. It also goes on and states that if using Winchester Large Pistol, Magnum Pistol and Magnum Rifle to limit to 20 primers and Winchester Large Rifle primers to 10 primers. And that any primer not listed in this chart you are to assume they are unsafe to use.
My question does anyone know why? Is this a CYA for the company? I have a original auto-prime and have a box of federal small rifle primers and another brand not on the list for 223 to load bought before I got this book. I was under the impression that any primer designed for a specific cartridge(rifle,pistol, etc) was safe to use in my hand priming tool.
