[QUOTE="baldhunter, post: 2778203, member: 11853"] When I compared Winchester Large Rifle Magnum and Federal Premium Gold Medal Large Rifle Magnum Match Primers 215M in my 308 Win,WLRM velocity was 2815fps and the Fed 215M was 2807fps with a 168gr Nosler Ballistic Tip.So really,I haven't seen any difference between the two primers in other cartridges I load for.I have some S&B Large Rifle Magnum primers that I bought about ten years ago for $17 a 1000.I get good accuracy with those primers,but the velocity was around 50fps less than what I was getting with a WLRM primer.Now that could be like a difference of a grain or so of powder to a load.One also needs to keep in mind,all powders are not the same.Some powders are harder to ignite than others.That's probably where a hotter vs colder primer can really make a huge difference.
