A good percentage of the guys I competed with in IDPA preferred Federal pistol primers as they are easier to set off than Winchester or CCI. This is not to say that Winchester and CCI are bad primers, but most guys in IDPA have altered triggers and striker springs and Federals can tolerate a lighter striker hit. The bad part about Federals is that they are easier set off when reloading if something jams. I once had about 50 go off when one got crunched in my reloader. In fact Lee even warns users in their manual about Federals.
