6.5 and 6-284 primers questions

[baseball123]

I have always used the federal 210 match and federal 215 in about all my guns....I can not locate any 210M's in my area and may use CCI Benchrest large primers to substitute for the Match 210 Federal....Has anyone been using these and am I going the wrong way? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Bughole, if you have the 215's, then use them. You can use magnum primers in cases like your 6.5-284, but you can't use regular primers (210's) in a magnum cases.

TAC, not true. You can use Federal 210M Primers in magnum calibers.

Wildcat, your are correct, you can use 210 primers in magnum cases, however you will not reliably burn all of your powder and can have misfires.

at -20 degrees that may be true, however most get far more consistant ignition with the standard primers

TAC, I believe the 210M Primeres are being used in the WSM Cases with good success. However, if you use the 210M Primers in cases like the 300 RUM and 338 Lapua, you are right, you could get misfires.

Bughole I have used the BR Primers in 223 , Swift, etc. for Summer varmint hunting forever ....without any problems . I was testing out a 6.5-06 in Fall .....maybe 40 deg . weather and had hangfires . Right at the Range someone had Rem . Primers which I prceeded to use , and the problem was gone !

Im using CCI benchrest in all my guns, there ok. Ive read the cup is alittle stronger than the Fedral's. I would like to try some Fedral match but finding them around here is tough also.
