I haven't reloaded in a few months. Of course, I haven't shot more than 200 rounds in the past few months either. So my ammo reserves are in pretty good shape.

I use a universal decapping die on...
Detonating outside of a chamber and barrel, the case flies farther than the slug. Inertia at work. There's absolutely minuscule risk, even if the round popped. If you could somehow cause a chain-reaction in a tumbler, you might have a problem.
Watch this...

If you conceivably got some down oil into the primer-cup, then yes, you'd have a risk of killing the primer. My Challenger doesn't have this problem often enough to warrant lubing that area. If it hangs, I just tap it loose.
What I would probably be comfortable doing is just applying a very...
