GM215M

Been looking for these primers for 2 years now. I have 1 slide left. Anyone know where I ca find some? Is there anyone in northern Utah that would be willing to sell even 1 slide? Thanks. The primers are federal match grade large magnum rifle primers in case you aren't familiar with the letter and number format.

Check Sporstman's warehouse I picked up a couple thousand just a few weeks ago and they had lots of them.

I honestly cannot see a difference between them and standard 215's but I buy them anyway.

I called the Ogden and the salt lake store today. Which store did you get them at?

I have been having the same problem. I found some Federal No. 215 large rifle magnum primers. So I grabbed a box of those. Before that I did a search and was told that the CCI 250 large rifle Magnum primers are close and could be substituted.So I also got a box of those. Lucky for me I still have a few GM215M's left. I haven't had to change anything up on my reloads. I am still keeping a eye out for the Match grade primers. I don't like to change anything on my reloads from what I have been doing. It may be ok. But it just messes with my head. I am very picky . But on the chronograph I have some three shot groups. That only have a 14 fps change from the first shot, cold bore to the last shot.

I know what you mean about not wanting to change anything, totally messes with my head as well. I'm glad to hear nothing is changing with your ballistics when you switch primers. I'll let you know if I find a store that has some.

I haven't had to switch yet. I just got nevous when I started getting low on my match grade primers. I still have a few left for reloading.

I'm down to my last 1000.Been a long time, 3 years I think since ive seen any on shelves.

I use them in a half dozen cartridges, will need to find a replacement soon.
