In a reloading world, what does this mean to us?  |

They usually don't have all the lawyer stuff printed on the box. Also they are bulk sold at a large discount for the buyer. They can also sometimes be made to the buyer's specs
To a reloader, it means you should have gotten a deal on them

What size are they?
I'd probably just load as normal.
I'm about out of large rifle primers. Only have 6k+ left.
I could of sworn I bought more years ago when there was a win primer rebate.

Same as L.E. only ammo, that gets "decommissioned" and sold to us ? Runs made with no advertising, or generic type boxing, per a contract, then overrun or not accepted ? A guess.

Are those primers older than dirt?

Let's just say, hypothetically, that bought in huge quantities, ammo companies are paying one, two or three cents per primer.
When they break it down, maybe they get two, four or six cents per primer sold as part of a loaded round.
Might be enticing to order TWO million primers (instead of the ONE million they need for ammo they intend to make) and sell the other million at the outrageous prices being paid right now by reloaders.
The generic box might be an attempt to deter such activity, as it would cut into the primer manufacturers' little racket selling primers for the outrageous prices being paid right now by reloaders.
Just my cynical take on it.
