Anyone know where I can buy these primers? I've looked high and low and I've turned up exactly 0 of these. I'd like to start shooting beyond 1000 yards, but I can't get a round loaded

Take this for what its worth, as I do not remember where I got the info. It may have been from a reloading forum or an interview/tour I watched or a book I have read.
As I recall, the difference is the match primers are assembled by staff that have had a lot of experience making primers and have had years to prefect their technique.

Re: Federal Gold Medal GM215M Where to buy?
I was on a backorder for some of these and some 210's from Graf's for a while, Lady called me up and said they were in stock but my CC info was expired, While on the phone I was able to bag about 15k worth of 210M's and 10k worth of 215M's. I moved some along to another hide member, kept some for my shooting pleasure and sold some to some friends. Was also able to bag some Varget, RL-22, and RL-15. I ordered enough crap the $20 hazmat fee was a non issue. Seems the only way to go is to order this crap in mass so the hazmat fee isnt such a big deal.

Speer mentions this in their reloading manuals. They take the most experienced and consistent primer 'makers' and use them on their Bench Rest line of primers. I've also read where the production line is slowed down by a third for longer inspection times equating to more consistent primers.
