Primer help
I need a little primer on primers. Ha ha couldn't resist!
 Am I correct when the radius is referred to it means the firing pin strike face and the anvil side is the open side that faces the powder? Thanks.

Yeah the anvil side is the open side that faces the flash holes on the case. The flat side faces out.

I've never heard it called that. The only thing I think of concerning the term "radius" when talking about primers is the casing's primer pocket. I've heard the edge of the pocket called the radius.

To quote from my Hornady LnL AP directions ...
"Carefully transfer the primers out of their factory package turning them upside down where the radius end is facing up." After putting the primer system together and being marginally smarter than a handi-wipe I was able to figure out that the flat side had to go up in order to correctly fill the primer feeding tube. Like all so far, I wasn't aware that the flat side of a primer was called a radius.
