Thread: Federal large primers

i'm relatively new to reloading but have used federal and cci primers with zero issues.

Sr5dan mate a few years ago I had trouble with cci200 primers so I went to rem 91/2 primers but later went back to the brass with the cci200
primers that had not fired and done a test of seating the primers the same way I had done previously and found that the
hand priming tool was making the primer flush with the butt of the brass and not seating it home so I went back to seating primers with my press
one at a time and seating them home firmly and haven't had a problem since
At present I use 4 different brands of primer and haven't had any issues with any of them in fact I've used many thousands over the years
with no issues except the cci200 issue but it was the seating tool that couldn't seat them deep enough to be home

cheers
