Federal's new primer technology - TexasMac - 07-02-2018
I know you guys understand how primers work, so you can quickly read through the standard stuff & check out the comments about Federals new Catalyst primer technology the company in converting over to. I use Federal large pistol primers for BPCR so it caught my interest.

It will be interesting to see how this works for blackpowder cartridges when they start hitting the shelves.

Wayne,
Thanks for the update about Federal's primers . I have several boxes of their current versions which will probably last me out.

Just what we need--a primer that dumps aluminum oxide residue into the bore. Fire lapping, anyone? Count me out. Shoot straight, rdnck.

Current Federal rifle primers are on sale at a couple of places like Midway and Brownells. I guess they are trying to clear out the current ones and make room for the new ones.
