CCI primer hve been 100% relible fo me, but they seat harder in every caliber i use them in. Was wondering if they had a "thicker" plating or whatever you call the

They suck worse than #$@%^&^. Wouldnt buy them if even if i had no other choice. I also think they are also the dirtiest ammo to shoot short of BP ammo. CCI, Federal and WW in that order is what I will only buy and shoot. On the range 7-8 of every 10 dud rimfire rounds are RP.
