Found a similar thing with CCI Small Rifle Magnum Primers (which are probably harder than they need to be for the purpose). Root cause I believe of my problem was a build up of grease inside the bolt, slowing the firing pin. Strip it out and replaced with a light oil and haven't had issues since. They are definitely not as sensitive as Federal. I believe Federals excessively space consuming packaging is because of their high sensitivity.
