Anyone have any thoughts on the risk of this sort of mishap occurring on a Primal Rights CPS? In the CPS manual, it states "do not load more than 10 primers into the feed tube at a time, for your safety". Not sure if this is just a CYA precaution, but it does defeat part of the purpose of having a CPS, that being the speed of priming cases. The first half of the manual is entirely safety but that 10 primer recommendation has had me wondering ever since I started using it six months ago. Admittedly, I ignore that limit at my own risk and load up 100 at a time wearing eye protection and being very meticulous about brass prep, especially the primer pockets.
The CPS design does seem to allow a greater margin of safety if the primer being seated were to go off, but doesn't the Dillon do the same and still there have been incidents where the primers in the tube detonated? Also, unlike the Dillon, the CPS doesn't have a steel safety shroud around the aluminum primer tube. I'm not familiar with the RCBS device at issue here, but it seems somewhat similar to a CPS in having an exposed aluminum primer tube. Perhaps
@orkan can enlighten us.
