Might make a difference in a sub.2" gun but in my MOA rifle, I didn't see it.

The "match" primers are exactly the same primers as the standard grade primers but with a QC difference. The difference is the people that are making the "match" primers have exhibited an ability to produce a higher quality product and only these people produce the "match" grade primers.

Good artical about 10 years ago in extreme accuracy mag or one of those mags. I got it around here somewhere. They showed a significant burn difference with 215M and 215.

Found the article. Precision shooting Sept 1999 copy. "Short Primer on Primers partII" by ML McPherson. Very detailed article that showed more power in a 210 primer than even a 215 when tested in a jig for moving a wieght. Found that strange. But 215's caused higher velocity and pressure. Also showed significant differences in Primers from 1970 lot compared to 1995 lot. If you ever get a chance, its a good article.
