[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4062155, member: 15054"] First off Prayers for the family. Second order is anyone who has loaded with Federal primers notice the box and packaging is HUGE compared to CCI. Care to know why such huge packaging. They had some go off years ago during transport so packaging was changed to the plastic containers that store them on their sides in their own cavity. Could be these were stacked too deep or hit a heavy bump and pressure set some soft primers off. Federal 210M is a very soft primer . I have done some experiments with primer and those are easy to set off. Tubular magazine pointy bullet will set those Federals off But I have tried and tried to make a pointy plastic tip or pointy lead tip set off a cci and can't do it. Chucked primed empty case in a vise and hit a pointy bullet against primer with a hammer to try and make them go off. [/QUOTE]
