Federal 215 Mag Primers - Any in Stock?

[tom_minnesota]

Happy New Year. After reading and reading on this site, I am finally getting set up with reloading equipment.

I can't seem to find any Federal 215 Large Rifle Magnum primers. Does anyone know of any in stock (eg - online retailer)?

Midway and Cabelas are out of stock.

Thanks!

I see they have Winchester primers. Are those not preferred....?? I'm new to this and there seems to be a preference to the Federal on this site.

I do not know about Winchester. Federal primers are in general hotter than others and sometimes that is good and sometimes better/ more consistent results are obtained with cooler primers. I have had to go both ways and it is always a mystery to me why it worked out that way.

go to midway and set up an account (username & Password) then go to the reloading area and click on the primers you want. you will see an area to check if you want to be reminded. they will send you an e-mail when they come in. i must warn you that you will have to be really quick to respond to the e-mail because lately they sell out in a matter of hours. also once you recieve an e-mail your name will be taken off the notification list and you will have to re-do it again.

you must also keep checking the other suppliers, midsouth, brunos, etc.

Buffalobob,

Thanks for the link. I finally got to order some Berger 168's. Everywhere else has been out of stock for months. Perfect timing. Now if I can just get the weather to cooperate... (currently 5*F Snowing and Windy)
