    Wear a full face shield, about $35 at Bunnings, I always do. Ive never had a primer go yet even when pushing out live ones, but I have seen some nasty videos on youtube, but I load manually in a Lee hand primer and not "on the press".

    I dont think Fed are more damaging? just more likely to go off according to Lee, Im not aware any other press manufacturer's give the same warning?

    I have found the Fed primers 100% reliable in going off so far and if the comments I get in the club is anything to go by other's experience is the same, others less so.
