Hornaday says this is the main reason they have a steel tube incasing [sic] their [sic] primer tubes.
I just got the new Hornaday manual and want to get at least 2 more different manuals to use along with it.
Can any one suggest a couple of books and where to get them?
Researching primers on the web, one thing that surprised me was Lee advises not to use Federal primers.
Also there was a story recently on one of the major forums by a guy who had a major explosion and got hurt by his primer tube blowing up with 100 Federals in it.

Try Winchester.
Won't deform like Federals; won't take a sledgehammer to detonate them, unlike CCI.
Trays? Be serious.
Anything less than a brick is really a waste. I now buy my primers a case at a time, to get the volume discount and beat FURTHER price hikes.
Cases?
What a wuss!
Seriously - I got in a deal about a year ago where I bought 50,000 large pistol primers (CCI - sledgehammer notwithstanding Scrivener) for $700. I'm feeling like a genius right now.
