Is there any meaningful difference? Most loads for the large body rifle cases I have see here call for the Fed 215M but they are virtually non-existant in Alaska now. In fact none of the load recipes for the 338 Lapua that I have looked at call for the Rem. 9 1/2 Mag. primer. But a local gun shop has 5 boxes of Remington 9 1/2 Magnums right now so I at least can get and load these now. Any advice on this?
 
Im sure deerhunter told you in the PM that the remington primer is one of the least intense primers in comparison the 215M primer, but if that's all you can get, what are you gonna do.
