You will need a few cups of coffee to get through this article but for all of us it should be at least informative to some degree.

I was pretty happy with the final standings.....you will see why....

Interesting.
I've been using Federal GMM 210M for quite a while, and his results will convince me to stick with them.
I haven't started loading for my 300WM yet, but will go with Federal 215M.
Both are easy to find.

Stocked up with 6 thousand Fed 210m's and 2 thousand 215m's a few years back, glad I did.

Yep, I stocked up several years back but am now nearly out of 215M. Cannot find them anywhere except privately and they think 6 to 10 cents apiece is a fair price.

I'm thinking I will buy the Primer manufacturing process from Federal and start producing them again.

Wideners.com has the Sellier&Bellot large rifle mag primers for $23.00 per 1000 in stock, but no fed 215m.
