Heads up: ordered Federal 210 primers and received 210 primers in a 205 box

[PApa Black]

I ordered, from Midway USA Federal 210 Large Rifle primers and received a brick with 210 Large Rifle primers on the box. BUT: I opened the brick and it's full of cartons with 205 Small Rifle Primers on the labels. Opened one and calipered a few and they're actually Large rifle primers. Contacted Midway and they're aware of the labelling problem and will get back to me. Looks like the Federal factory labeled the cartons incorrectly. I'll update when when I get a reply.

That makes me a little concerned...I don't want to have a big KABOOOOOM due to mislabeled components.

I know some shops sell them by the 100......That would suck to get home and find that out!

How would that happen?

Now I got to go check mine from Midway.

If Midway is aware of the issue, why aren't they being more proactive and stating something on their site. It can't be too hard to change the home page to let people know. It seems like the least they could do.

Midway just shipped me 1000. i guess i'll know next week if I get what i ordered.
Given how we should be reducing our loads when we change primers i would have expected federal or even midway to communicate this.

I'm with you, but I'm guessing that Midway can't speak for Federal until Federal gets to the bottom of it.

Well, the wrong powder, a magnum primer in a non magnum primer box or similar issue. If you are are the top of the pressure curve and add just a little bit...

I agree Weaver93!!!!!

Product safety attorney nightmare for Federal. This should have been a CPSA product tecall due to mislabeling and potential consequences.

The OP had large rifle primers labeled small rifle, so they would just fall out or not fit the primer pocket if switched. But I can see your point. If one is mislabeled, others could be too.

I got a good deal on these at

Larry's pistol and Pawn in Alabama and they are labeled correctly.
