Prime ammo primer pocket?

    Does anyone know if they are crimped? I started the day off with trying to feel a crimp with a nail, and  didn't feel anything. But after brass prep, when trying to seat federal gold medal match primers they are pretty stiff and I peeled the side of one up.

	If it is tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

	I've not heard of Federal Premium having crimped primers. I have heard of some lots of primers being a shade out of spec though.
	Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.
