Re: Federal primers 210 vs. 210M
Is the Gold Metal 210 Match Primers worth paying the extra dough for versus a 210?

Re: Federal primers 210 vs. 210M
I used to use all the federal "M" primers...the 205 an 210. Tried winchester standard and did just as good or better in some cases. Also cheaper most places as well.

My understanding is that they're the same primers made by the same process. Supposedly, the Match primers are made by more experienced workers, hopefully introducing less variation into the process. I've never heard of any testing done to verify that differences in consistency do exist.

+1 on the WLR primers, they're becoming my goto primer on a lot of loads. I've got over 9000 210M's and right now I'm trying to find more WLRs because, in a lot of cases, they work better.

I just emailed Federal with this question. I will let you know the response. Thanks!

I've used both in the same load and didn't see any differance in velocity. I'm curious to see what Fedral says. Let us know what you come up with Anderhorn.

Not for me. I think it's only noticeable if you are BR shooters.

Greetings, Our Match 210 primers are held to a tighter spec providing moreconsistency in lot to lot with little variance. The 210 standard primersstill have tight specs but are not held to as high of tolerances.

Re: Federal primers 210 vs. 210M
So they are the same but, you might get a bad on here and there. I'll take my chances, have been shooting 210's for a while and am quite happy.

The actual variation in the product is determined by the process, not the specification.

Re: Federal primers 210 vs. 210M
I did a test between the two a few months ago. Using my GAP308 I shot 4 - 5shot groups with the 210's then the same number of groups with the 210m's. I think the 210M's averaged in the .480's and the 210's averaged around .530. Not a lot of difference. But I still prefer the 210M's. The powder was Varget.

Never ask a marketing guy to compare his high margin item with a lower margin item and expect he'll tell you they're equal.

I find them to be the exact same. Especially if you buy a case of 5000 from the same lot. I see the exact same velocity and group size.
It’s always good to see that things haven’t changed in the last 11 years
Lol. I didn't notice that. Maybe I'll change my name to the necromancer.
