I've been buying Federal LR "Match Primers" in a "blue" box. I was looking on line and found LR "Gold Medal" Match Primers. They are in a "red box". What's the difference? Then I see "Small Pistol" in a blue box. Not match just regular primers. Is Federal deliberately trying to be confusing? I thought regular primers were in red boxes Match in blue and what in the heck is the difference in Match and Gold Medal Match?
