I load light strike pistols using Fed SPPs and like them. I don't much like the packaging either, but:

Federal packages their primers so if one were ignite, the others won't. This is because they use an older more sensitive formula.
I reload with the Lee Turret press and the primer system has been modified to prevent chain ignition of the primers. This was done many years ago. I have reloaded over 25K Fed primers and never had one go off in the press.

I think it was last year that someone posted a pic of the "Blue" press primer tube being fired into the ceiling due to a chain primer ignition. It wasn't Fed primers in the tube.

IMHO, Primers, any primers, are the most dangerous component in the reloaders' supply. They are 'explosive' instead of 'combustible'.
