This topic has gone on for a few months on multiple boards. So, its not new (just maybe new here) They changed the primers design, and the new primers are supposedly copper colored instead of silver colored now. But, there are still reports.

I bought a box and planned to use it as my new carry ammo after I fired about 1/2 of it.

I just thru it in the back of my safe instead. Even if I get thru 1/2, I'll have my doubts. True, the likely hood is diminished that if I get thru 1/2 with no issues, the other 1/2 may be okay. But, I've seen reports of just a few in the box being bad.

So, for now, I'll pass on this ammo for alt least the next year. Irritating.

I have never had a misfire on any commercial centerfire cartridge before. It's disappointing to hear this. And, it is a self defense round.

I have been using this ammo in my Springfield EMP and have never had a problem. I save my brass, so I just checked all the stuff I fired in the past year, and it all had copper colored primers. However, I just checked a brand new box I picked up from a local dealer and it has silver primers! I know it was new stock, so maybe the new primers are silver?

I think the copper is newer, but cannot swear - the thread I read it in was a month or two ago on AR15.com. Someone claimed to have called the company to complain
