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

[Rimneck]

I would demand a 10:1 replacement deal for the correct primers in the correct boxes

Maybe it's just a Midway thing I don't know very strange.

Interesting question is whether box seal is now required to prevent someone exchanging primers box to box.

I hope not. I almost hurt myself with a knife just trying to open a bottle of mustard.

Midway gets their primers from powder valley. That is who you need to contact. At least they were several years ago. And Vista is shutting down production and laying off most workers so good luck getting a resolution.

Maybe the Midway or Federal will just mail 10 tray covers that go with the 210's and you can slip em over those primers, it's still all good stuff. Federal's tray sleeves are nearly same size whether pistol or rifle, large or small in their current boxes.

I have always thought that Federa's prime trays/boxes are excessively large when compared to CCI or Remington. Sure would save space and use less tote containers.

That would work for me!

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.

Wrong powder? This is about SRP and LRP which don't even fit in the same pocket. Also a mag primer will not blow up a rifle if a larger primer wouldn't do it.

Glad I don't need any federal

Where did you hear that Vista is shutting down production? Jason Vanderbrink, the CEO, said they are continuing production.

If Midway is aware of the issue, why aren't they being more proactive and stating something on their site.

If Midway is aware of the issue, they should be hanging on to any suspect bricks until either they (or Federal) verify they are correctly labeled and packaged.
Anything less is unacceptable.

There is no indication Vista is shutting down production on sporting lines related to the ammo side. The layoffs are sparked by consolidation of recently acquired sporting equipment manufacturers in the clothing and hard goods like cycling and snow equipment market and the overall market downturn for sporting goods like shoes, shirts, cycling, and camping related outdoor gear.

Their Ammo portfolio is very strong and the new CEO was actually in charge of the the Ammo side.

Had the same problem opening the orange juice the other morning. That bottle was sealed hard...
