Prior to the current primer shortage one of my shooting buds often commented that Rios are too much trouble to use. I called him earlier and asked why that is ..... in addition to being somewhat oversize and thus hard seating in once-fired American hulls, their leading edge isn't as radiused as other 209 primers and can cause jams (in the seating station) of progressive loaders like MEC 9000's.
