I read that warning, then used Wolf 556 primers. My reasoning was that the Wolf was a milspec primer, same as the CCI 41 primer, then it should be as safe to use as the CCI 41.

So far no unexpected booms. However, there have been a number of mangled primers, and I definitely would not want to use a "sensitive" primer in a Lee progressive press.
