    What primers are these?

    I was going through my primers, looking for some today, when one if my 100 packs of Federal 205M primers had an unusual rattle. I thought they had been spilled inside the pack and we're rattling around, so I opened them up to check. All there.

    So I pulled the plastic tray the rest of the way out of the cardboard, and these fell out of the back of the packaging. They're large primers, while 205M is a small rifle primers. And I don't recognize the purple.

    There's only 9, and I have no idea what they are. Any ideas?

    I lave some federal large rifle magnum primers that have a purple color on the anvil and priming compound.

    Guess I better check my large magnum boxes and see if there are any missing.
