Wondering if anyone here has some experience with Winchester Mag LR primers and testing with say Federal Mag LR Match primers in the 338 Lapua.
I have some win Mag LR primers on hand, and wondering if I should be using the fed Mag LR Match instesd.
Thanks, JPG
 
Re: Magnum Primers VS Magnum Match Primers

Considering the availability, or should I say lack of availability, of 215M's I would use whatever I could get.

I personally like fed. primers the best but if I had some Win. mag primers and didn't have any 215M's, those Win mag primers I had would be filling my primer pockets.

IMO, it wouldn't be a deal breaker either way.
 
Re: Magnum Primers VS Magnum Match Primers

Thanks Samson. I can't find the FED Mag LR primers at all. That was my plan.
I was wondering if anyone has seen it on target the difference. I have read that some people don't use Match primers at all.
Looking to the great SH knowledge base. Thanks, JPG
