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 .

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.[
]
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.

RE: Help with primers.
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.
