Guys I wouldnt know how to search for this but if I am out of fed 215 and wanted to do some shooting could I substitute a fed 210 in a lapua case without creating issues? Anything I should be aware of? I assume it won't create a high per sure situation but could it not ignite the whole colum etc?

.338 Lapua? Since you mention the 215 I'll assume you mean the .338 flavor. I'd just go with another brand of magnum primer like Winchester.

If it is for the 338LM, that's a magnum cartridge with a large powder column, so I think a magnum primer is appropriate and as the fellow above states, just use another magnum primer, if you have some on hand.

I'm sure a 210M will ignite that column, but will it do it efficiently?

Assuming it's 338 LM, I would go with other magnum primers (Win, CCI, Remington) before I go with the 210.

If you want to hit what you´re aiming at and not have hang fires then better get Fed 215s or 215Ms.

With such a large powder column I'd wait and get some more magnum primers.
