Federal 215 / 215M primer availability?

[dhdoyle]

I have a Rem 700 in 300 Win mag that likes these primers. I have a few boxes left, but I want to play with some new loads later this summer. Has anybody seen these on store shelves yet? If not, has anybody found a decent substitute? It's been 20 years since I tried anything else.

federal match are the best large rifle primers. Everyone wants them. I doubt you will find any, i cant. CCI BR2 primers work well and is more available.
