Given the amazing sh!tshow with CZ (parent of both Colt Canada and S&B) you may want to find a different brand that doesn't backstab civillian gun owners.
Thanks for the info! The problem is that I have S&B cartridges for my Savage 99 in 22 HP. Trying to reprime them with another brand of primer is nasty, at least it is with a hand primer. It seems like the primer pockets are a smidge too small. I am hoping their own primers will fit better.
Get a primer pocket reamer. - dan

Reamer gets all your pockets uniform and matched
Reamer will enlarge your pockets easier than a swage in my experience. More work though. - dan
I don’t know; they were a bit of an F Class favorite for awhile. Guys rated them right up with GMM or better. I couldn’t tell any difference myself, but thats not so bad by itself.
What trouble did you have with them?
SB pockets are tight. I always take a chamfer tool and chamfer the pocket. They go in much better it’s good brass but takes extra work.

In my experience, and in other calibers, I've found that S&B primers are a bit generous in their diameter, and that their cases are rather tight in their primer pockets, making S&B in S&B a reloader's nightmare.
S&B primers are best at getting the last couple of firings out of tired primer pockets.
