Federal 215 Match Instead of Fed 210m in 243 Winchester?

[Riflman]

I’m about to start working up a load on a new custom fast twist 243 Winchester for PRS. Lapua brass, n160 powder, Berger 105’s out of a 21” Bartlein 1:7.5” heavy barrel. I have a smattering of primers kicking around but only like 120 Fed 210m left, 200 WLR. I have 1100 Federal 215’s that I’ve had for years. I have three magnum rifles, 338 win mag, 7mm rem mag, and a new custom 300 Win Mag I haven’t shot or worked up loads for yet and might not keep. I have a ton of loaded 338 and 7mm mag ammo already, and don’t see my myself using many of these 215’s before I die even if I keep the 300 Win. I also cannot find large primers, so I’m thinking of just using up these Federal 215’s in the 243 Winchester. Am I going batshit crazy here or is this reasonable?

I switched to only Fed 215M last year for everything. You said you are working up the loads, so no worries.

 

[Riflman]

How is the accuracy with them compared to the 210m’s? And what cartridges are you running?

Showing all that ordnance might invite a visit from a 3 letter agency!

 

[Riflman]

??? Are we limited now on how many primers we can have? If so I was not aware. Please clarify.

Trade them

I was just kidding. But I wouldn't be surprised.

I used 215’s for my .243 for years. Just recently switched to 210’s and cci 200’s. I have multiple loads worked up using lapua brass, sierra 85 grains and IMR4350 and H4350.

Seriously, trade them. I haven’t found 215Ms for a long time.

Not sure how to mail primers but I would trade 210M for some 215M.
