    I've had 8 primer failures in 7 years, all of them Fed, mix of small (mostly) and large.
    Half of them and those all being AR loads can be put down to loose primer pockets.
    The rest bar one are down to reusing a primer after pulling the projectile with a kinetic hammer.
    So 1 real failure from thousands of rounds.
    Zero failures from Murom, CCI or Winchester.
