Federal 210M vs Federal 215M

[SlightlyDistracting]

So I know there's a thread already started similar to this.
I just realized I bought 1500 Federal 210 match primers instead of 215 Magnum match primers.
I prefer to use only Magnum primers but I'm still thinking these will be just fine. Should I buy 215s? In the past I have preferred CCI BR2. I havent used Federal primers a whole lot. I reload for 22-250. 308win. 6.5 creed. I always looked at primers as cheap so why not overkill and be sure with magnum primers. What are your thoughts?

The 210s will be fine. As far as overkill goes, some small capacity cartridges produce better accuracy with less powerful primers.

It doesnt say. But always assumed CCIBR2 were magnum primers??

You assumed wrong.

Good to know. Thank you. So CCI doesnt make a magnum match primer?

The Federal 215 is the hottest magnum primer made, followed by Winchester Mag rifle. Both are excellent in large volume cases with 70 grains or more of powder. They are the only two that will consistently ignite these large charges.

I use CCI 250 mag primers in all of my hunting loads 243 to 45-70 and Fed 215 or Win Mag in all my magnum loads 7 Rem Mag to 460 Weatherby. The CCI 250 are good insurance for cold weather hunting. They burn hotter and longer than non mag. Non mag will work fine for target or summer guns and are what most people use even in their hunting rifles for winter loads. They work, its just I like the extra insurance.
