[QUOTE="EastTNHunter, post: 4901058, member: 8364"] The reason that Federal packages them that way is because they have the thinnest cups and are the most sensitive of the primers. They are more likely to go off due to a hard drop. It is also why Lee recommends that you not seat Federal primers with their old hand priming tool, and introduced the “elevator “ on their new priming tool. I’m considering switching over to Federal primers for my win 94 that has a somewhat light primer strike and provides an occasional failure to fire (1in 20 or so). The Federals will go off much more easily than the CCIs that I’m am currently using. Yeah, I hate the packaging, but I understand why they do it... Next time you are in Chatt town I’ll swap a brick of CCIs for Federals if you’d like, DA. Shipping primers isn’t worth it... [/QUOTE]
