the orange discs used for the 209 primers, can they only be used once?

I am very new to bp and still researching guns.

sorry for the ignorance.

unlike the red ones, it has been my experience that once is all they are good for

I have reused the orange and red both with no difference in ballistics.

When at the range I will reuse the orange ones until the primer will not fit tight in the disc. I'll discard it then but when I'm hunting I'll only use new ones because I want a water tight seal in the breech area.
