6.5 PRC primer

[mdfanatic1980]

Which primer should I start working loads with? I’d like to buy some factory Hornady, but that’s obviously not an option. Federal 210? Federal 210m? Federal 215?

Hornady load data shows they used the Federal 210. Hope that helps.

I've had great success in other calibers of similar size, etc with Federal 210 and 210M

I use the 210m I’ve heard rule of thumb over 60 grains of powder go with a magnum primer.

210 M’s work best for me, I’ve tried CCI 250’s, 215M’s, but 210 M’s were the clear winner.

210m has worked very well under VV565 for me.

I think either size will work since the powder charge is on the border. That said I am running 210Ms and it is working very well with RL26.

I had a good supply of the regular Winchester Large rifle primers so I started working up loads with them first. Getting great results with them

CCI BR-2 for me.

Bumping up an ancient thread to see what guys are using in 2026 . I have ample supply of either 210m or 215m. Seems like most are using 210's but the load charge will likely be close to that old rule of 60gr to use a 215. I am planning on Lapua brass, h1000, n565 or N570.
