Purple primers?

[Blammer]

Are Fed 215 primers purple?

I have some that I 'discovered' and when looking at the anvil they are covered irregularly in a "purple" something or other.

Is this normal?

I've not loaded or shot any of these.

I know the older boxes of 210's i have are red, i believe 215's are purple but don't use them in any of our rifles now so i don't remember!

[Dark Helmet]

yup,purkle

[Lloyd Smale]

ive got a couple cases of fed match mags and there for the most part purple but not all of them.

[Blammer]

ok, thanks!

the Fed 215 are large rifle? or large pistol?

there is so much purple stuff I can't see the anvil, I'll load and shoot them then.

215's are LR mag primers.
