I had the same problem for a bit, The Federal primers appear to be a little hotter.

I worked up some of my 357 loads up with the Federal primers and did not get to the same max as with the CCI primers due to pressure signs. I guess the benefit to this is now I have tested loads for more than one brand of primer.
