Thread: So how much difference does the primer make?

Reading that causes me concern, that’s a sign that there’s a little too much haste or not quite enough care when installing the primers

Please don’t take my comments as a criticism, just wanting to point that out

If you are using any type of hand held priming tool then Google “ primer installation proximity detonation”

It occurs when a jammed/ mis oriented primer goes off violently and sets all his mates off in the hand held primer tray

The pictures show multiple fingernails missing and a lot if not all skin missing off fingers and palms etc

Please be careful with primers, they are the most violent of things when upset.
