can't find any real reviews on these. Got a sleeve at cabelas, I had $5 cash on me, if they would take my debit as credit I may have bought the box. ANYWAY, does anyone have anything to say about these?

They are the softest primers money can buy, so if you have a reduced power hammer spring, they are the cats arse.

I suppose if I was developing a load for bullseye I may try a match primer, but not much call for that these days.

When the Federal #100 SPP are sold out, the match primers are usually in stock due to thier slightly higher price.

They are great primers, suppose to be more consistent in ignition thereby causing the higher price, but I cant tell any difference. They, just like regular Federal primers, seat very easily on the press as well.
 
Used to be all I shot was WW primers in everything. Used to work guns shows years ago for about 15 years. We sold ammo and reloading components. We could get any brand to sell. All people wanted was WW. I started rifle reloading and my mentor recommended FGMM so that is all I used for about 3 years. Had a BR gun built and gunsmith (F class record holder) recommended CCI BR primers. So that is what I use for that gun. I can't tell any difference between primers as far as accuracy especially in pistols.
