That’s just how I do it. No one else needs to do it that way.

If the primers are kept separated at all times then they are not able to communicate. Having them in contact allows them to become part of the collective and adjust their ignition parameters to follow a more synchronized pattern. I’ve had several 0.7 moa hunting rifles that now shoot in the 2’s because the primers are allowed to communicate their ignition sequence parameters.

Primers communicating their ignition sequence parameters? What kind of sorcery is this?

You should do the same with powder, buy it on sale, throw it in a bucket, stir. Works in any cartridge, use with random primers, shoots in the 1's.

For powders I usually just give them a quick check with a digital gaussmeter just prior to loading the cases. I’m not about to reveal the specified range.

Your #4 MAY ?????? have a weak firing pin spring...or not, just a thought.

I have fired thousands of CCI 200 primers they were all I ever used for the longest time, never had a dud.. JM2cents

I remember hearing tales of people, told by a friend who used to work there, in the CIL/IVI plant in Quebec wandering around with buckets full of primers. Apparently that didn't always end well.
