I have nearly a thousand Remington small rifle primers that I don't know if I will ever shoot. Out of the first 100 that I loaded I had 5 failure to fires. That was about a year ago. I now understand why the Gov dropped Remington and canceled the contract, the same thing with CCI. I knew about CCI before I went to Afghanistan in 05-06, but did not find out about Remington until after I had bought a couple thousand. I don't like Remington primers, but couldn't find any Federals or Winchesters at all. It wasn't until after I had the bad Remington's that I found out about them Loosing the contract. Federal and Winchester are providing all the primers for military ammo. If you see white boxes of CCI that are labeled Arsenal Primers DO NOT BUY THEM unless you are strictly going to use them to plink with. Those are the left overs of the Contract that the Gov didn't take. I can assure you that some of them will be bad.

Best wishes from the Boer Ranch,
