Federal primers are not just "softer" as one poster put it, but are more sensitive as well. A lot of "gun gamers" like them for use with reduced power firing pin/hammer springs because they will ignite when most other primers will not. Thus, some reloading equipment manufacturers, having had some misfortunes (read uncontained primer detonations) with Federal primers being used with their equipment in the past, want to "discourage" their use with the equipment they sell. I have some for use in light spring equipped pistols, but so far have had no mishaps with them. They are more "touchy" though.
