Help with primers.
I need some help switching primers due to the war. I use Federal 215-Large Magnum Rifle primers for several guns. I have not found any Federal 215 primers on the shelf in the past couple of months.
What other primers can I switch over to and still get the same results??? The rifles I am reloading for are as follows: 2-300-win mags 2-340-Weatherby's 1-7mm-STW 1-7mm Remington Ultra Mag. Thanks for the help, WK |
RE: Help with primers.
Other people make magnum primers ,but that said they also have a different burn rate so you might need to test your load results again using another primer . Easier to keep looking if you can wait awhile .

You can also use CCI 250 LR Mags and Remington 9 1/2 M but you will need to work up the load with them like you did with the Federals.

bigcountry,
I live in Wyoming. I am looking at every mom & pop country store I can find. I have also looked onlineat Cabelas & Midway USA. I can not find any store with a supply of Federal-215 primers.[:o] IF I ever find a store that has them, I will buy all they have in stock. |

I think I will hold off on buying other primers & "re-working" up loads for my rifles. I will place a order for them & wait in line. I have found in thepast, Federal 215's worked best for me.

I use the Winchester WLRM"s in the Weatherby's and in the 300 Winchester's. I also use them in the 25 06. I have found them to be more consistant than any other that I have tried. IMO they give a hotter, more consistant burn than any of the others. Velocity deviation is less with them than the others too, enhancing accuracy.

According to Ken Waters the Win Mag primers are the hottest,second Fed then CCI.Didn't mention Rem...........Harold

wolf killer,
I contacted federal about three months ago and talked with someone in the sales dept.....they had invoices a year old for Fed 215 Primers. I could not wait that long. Luckily bigcountry got some for me. |
RE: Help with primers.
I took a quick look at Cabelas wesite. They are backordering Federal 215M primers two to three weeks. They are, I think, $31.50 on their site. With their purchasing power, I am quite certain you are going to have a tough time finding them. Best to get in line at Cabelas and wait things out.
