Federal #41 primers

[smle-man]

I'm probably the last guy on the planet to learn that Federal now sells a #41 primer for 5.56 loads. I bought a 1,000 at the Angeles range reloading store today. A bit less than the CCI version. I at first thought that they were CCI primers in a slightly different packaging until the nice lady at the store set me straight.

Anyone using them and any comments on them if you are?

I use #41 it works great for me. From what I understand it takes a little bit more pressure to set them off, so slam fires are less likely. Great for semi auto's.

Yes, I couldn't get CCI #41s to reliably fire in my bolt action .223 sporter. They work fine in all of my semi autos.
