Sorry if this is old news, i have checked but info seems scarce to me.
Supposedly the latest version of CCI primers are more reliable.

Also I have seen a couple of things on the web that state Federal has aquired CCI and Fed/CCI primers are made in same factory now. There has apparently been a recent change in CCI packaging, what I have at home doesn't look like anything I see on the web.
Just getting back into reloading after some years away.
My lightly sprung GP100 seems to set the CCI's off reliably except for a couple of high primers which I partially blame on some old beat up brass. If suddenly the new CCI's are the same as the old Federals then Lee may have to add CCI to his banned list for the Auto Prime?
