Has anyone noticed rws small rifle primers have changed from nickel colour to brass colour?...and they're definitely tighter to seat.

Not to my knowledge..but.....
RUAG were marketing RWS primers in white sleeves that were also marked Geco (same family)

unlikely they produce for S&B

I’ve got rws in white sleeves but they are nickel colour it’s all I could get in the great primer depression but they shoot very well

So far they've been ok, but they're tight to seat.

I've been using RWS srp's for about a year now and I've found them tight to seat as well, didn't really notice until I tried some Federal 205's and they were so much easier to seat, the RWS have been very good though, very low SD and ES

Might be giving a better gas seal?
