CCI Primer question?

[Jed Cooper]

When did CCI first start using the dark blue box with the silver "swoosh"?
I've got some of these blue box primers with the lot# of K15B302, but based on the old lot ID scheme these were made in 1996. The best I remember in the mid 90's the boxes were the old white and red variety. I believe I've had these only a year or two. Getting old is heck. LOL

I bought 4000 earlier this year. All were the blue with a "swoosh"? Earlier/older on hand were red box.

I remember the red white boxes from when I started loading. 97-98ish.

Thought I maybe still had an old box. Not sure why I kept 25 old primers. A25F January 25 2000.

Maybe they started over in '09. That would make yours '10

I am still working on the Primers I purchased in 2000, have 300 LRM left and have another 1k I purchased two years ago. The one purchased in Y2k are red boxed and the newer ones are in the blue.

The red and white box were their magnum primers. The blue and white were standard primers. Don't know when switches were made. Heck I still have some pistol primers in the green and white box.
