Is using Federal 210M primers in semi auto AR really a disaster waiting to happen? That seems to be what is said in many forum threads I read but would like advice from those who use this primer in their loadings for semi auto AR.

No, you'll be fine. Just make sure the primers are seated below the case head and keep the bolt face relatively clean, as you should with any primers.

You will be just fine trust me I have been running them for years now without any problems.

I've had zero issues with them.

Shot several thousand rds with no problem, but do not know beyond that. I am sure that most people do not blame themselves when problems arise. It is easier to blame the primer for poor loading skills or QC.
 
Re: using Federal 210M primers for semi auto

Thats all I have ever used. I probably havent loaded nearly as many rounds as many here, but I have loaded a decent amount, and never a single problem.

But I am a methodical loader on single stage Rock Chuckers.
