Has anyone seen any Federal GM215M in the last couple of months? I have been searching and searching and can't locate any.
I bought some locally about a month and a half ago. Where are you located? Maybe someone nearby can point you to a local option.
I gave up several months ago. I was able to get a good supply of Federal 215 standard magnum primers. I have used them in three different caliber LR loads that were developed with the Gold Medal match grade 215's. There was absolutely no difference in accuracy, ES, or velocity using the standard magnum primers. My LR loads are developed to an have ES of 12 FPS or less. Also found that in my 260, 308, and 6.5x284 loads that Winchester LR primers will produce comparable velocity, ES, and accuracy as Federal 210M's. Several of my shooting buddies have had the same results. It seems like Federal has checked out of the reloading business.

That company is in Canada and can't ship primers to the US.
Thanks for trying, though.
