cankerman ,
I ask this because I found quiet a few pieces of metal in my striker channel from primers. It was causing light primer strikes in mine.
I think that it was primers from Federal factory ammunition that was causing the issues.

This puzzles me...how could you get pieces of primer in the striker channel? Are you saying that the primers were being pierced by case pressure and pieces were blowing back through the firing hole? It seems more likely that the metal you found was debris from manufacturing...
I know a lot of people think Federal primers are soft...but the only time I've had even flattened primers (an obvious prerequisite to getting pierced primers, I would think) with factory ammo was with some Winchester "green" .357 magnum ammo.
