Re: .338 lapua Magnum primers
215Ms, but I've used 215s and Winchester LRM primers.
I prefer the 215Ms if for no other reason than I sleep better at nights, using them.

Haha, I hear you. Thats the kind of feedback I need though! I figured it was kinda a glock vs 1911, both will work its just what you prefer. It is however always nice to hear what everyone is using. Thanks

Re: .338 lapua Magnum primers
I can tell no difference between CCI, 215M, and WLRM. All shoot just fine, I just happen to have a lot more WLRM,s, so they are what's used.

Hey now, I wouldnt go that far. More like Springfiled XD vs Glock.
GM215M's here as well. Only complaint, on new Lapua brass I have to use a primer uniformer to get them to seat below flush. I think the cups on the Fed are a bit deeper then the CCI's.

Re: .338 lapua Magnum primers
For some reason the CCIs did not work well at all for me in my 338 LM. Using the Federals with the same load works great. I was surprised because CCI primers work great in my 6BR benchrest rifle.

Re: .338 lapua Magnum primers
CCI large rifle mag primers. They are the only thing I can get to work.

Re: .338 lapua Magnum primers
Federal, I get 15 to 25 more FPS than with CCI YEMV
Same powder, same brass same bullet.

Re: .338 lapua Magnum primers
I started with the 215Ms had good luck and never looked back.
I buy in bulk since I use them in my 7WSM, 7 Dakota, 338LM, and 338 LM Improved.
