I was just looking at an Cabelas add they show winchester has changed their primer coating and advertised as improved sensitivity ? Why would I want sensitive primers, I mainly use CCI but is their an issue with Winchester primers I have used them in the past they went bang , :thumbdown: ATTACH=full]758583[/ATTACH]
They said they made them more sensitive when they went away for the nickle plated cups. Let me see that was 20+ yrs ago???? This was mainly aimed at hand guns.

I measured some unplated Winchester WLRM primers I have and they are .2097" on my micrometer. On the same mic. my (plated) Federal 215 WLR primers measured .2104"

The Winchester primers do not fit as tight in the same brass.
