I received some in 9mm yesterday from Cabela's and noticed that the primers were painted red in color. As I said, I've used this brand in the past but I guess that I never noticed the red color. Any idea as to why they do that? Thanks. __________________ "If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space!"

Sometimes ammo manufacturers do that to help waterproof the cartridges. __________________ XD40SC XD9 Service Supertuck, Snapslide, Serpa KelTec P3AT .380 S&W .38 Snubby S&W 9mm Model 39 Walther P22 Marlin BA .22 Remington Viper .22 Marlin SA .22 Sears & Roebuck 12ga.
