CCI Mag Rifle Primers - How are they?

[Ender20]

Trying to get some primers for a new Remington 700 338. I see that most shooters are using Federal Primers but can't kimd any not on Back Order. Anyone using CCI #250 Large Mag Rifle Primers or should I hold out for the Federal. Also what is the benefit of Federal 215M over the Federal 215.

Thanks

I use the CCI 250s in quite a few different guns. Never had any problems with them and they are usually pretty easy to find.

Try PAT'S RELOADING , they have Winchester Large Magnum Rifle Primers. They have provided very good results for me. As far as a difference between 215M and 215- I haven't seen it in the 338LM.

I've shot them in a couple rifles, the largest capacity being compressed 30-06 loads around 60gr.

They work very well, I did get tighter groups with the Wolf LR mag primers, but it wasn't enough to where I wouldn't shoot the CCI's again. I just happened to have no CCI's left and 2k of the Wolf's sitting there when I switched.

CCI 250's are good primers. I prefer 215M's, but they are very hard to get.

I use CCI 250's and 215M primers for my .308 loads and they work great.

Thanks Guys for all the help. Widener's Reloading has the CCI #250's for the cheapest price in stock. I'll try 1000 and compare them to the 215M's a buddy gave me. I just found out our range was flooded this last weekend here in KY> Officals say it will be 5-6 days til we can get to it. Why is loving to shoot #@8% complicated!

I shoot National Match .223 most of they guys I shoot with use the CCI #400 for short Range and CCI BR for the 600yd. Our juniors are using the Wolf Primers this year and I have to say for the price thay fire great and good groups.
Thanks again for the help.

Got To Say dvdt is great to work with!!!! Everything I got was as quaoted, threw in powder & some primers to help me start shooting with my new stick.

Would add pics but to new and un teckie! Sorry.
