Bought a brick of Federal small pistol primers from a guy that has a lifetime supply. $75, which in these times is a fair price. I normally use and have very good results from Winchester primers. I primed 50 pieces of .32 acp brass, and crushed 7 of the federal primers. Besides that, about 50% of the brass primed really hard. Are federal primers slightly larger OD than Winchester? These pieces of brass have been reloaded before, with Winchester, and I had no problems at all. I always clean the primer pockets, every time I reload, so that's not the problem. Federal primers must be a few thousandths larger?
