For some reason I have it in my head that you should not touch primers with your bare fingertips. Maybe I read it somewhere, or someone told me this. The reason is because over time, the oils in the skin can play havoc with the priming compound. Any truth to this?
Reason I ask is because I've gotten tired of fighting the worn out plastic primer feed ramp on my 25 year old Lee single stage press, so I bought one of those primer dies that require manually placing a primer in the ram one at a time. It works great. Not that much slower. And seats the primers at a perfect depth just below the head.
So is this touching a primer a whole lot of nothing? Or should I be wearing latex medical gloves to keep the skin oils off the primers? Thanks.
