Identify primer markings

[Tampa-XD45]

I purchased some 9mm reloads to have on hand in case I run out of components, and the primers are stamped with some of type of brand mark.  Anyone know who makes these primers?

Magtech small pistol primers

The arrows have different orientation for magnum/riffel, pistol/revolver primers and yours are for magtech #1½

I've long thought primers should have identifying markings.  I tried to convince CCI while there, but there was no interest.

 

It would seem great if SAAMI would organize and manage a primer ID system and have a chart to give the ID's.

They must have listened to you somewhat because the bench rest primers have a small B on them. Would be a good idea but something else to drive the price up. Used to be able to tell by the colors of the lacquer they used on the insides but that doesn’t help once it’s loaded.
