6.5 Creedmoor Large Primer Lapua Brass

[jeffwhip]

I will be reloading 6.5 Creedmoor Large Primer Lapua brass and have a question regarding primers. Has anyone done testing to see if a FED 215 Mag primer will produce good grouping? After giving this some thought, I'm wondering if the FED 210 would be a better choice? I'm wondering if the FED 210 primer will yield higher velocity and tighter groups due to the lower pressure. I look forward to any help you can provide.

Both work, run what you can find. the case was designed for standard, non-magnum primers, but Ive used both with equal results. Powder charges will change a bit with the magnums, but Ive not had any issues with ES or SD going between standard and magnum

As stated above,I've done the same. But do not under estimate the 210's I've had great results in some Magnums
with the 210's..........

Thank you. Now if you could kindly point me to where I can buy a few bricks of FED 210's

If you have magnums, you should be able to trade them for 210's easy.

215's will work better if you use a borderline too slow powder like Rl26 or H1000 especially in winter temps. Otherwise standard primers typically give better deviation numbers better suited beyond point blank range.
