Better chance finding unobtanium. I'll be trying CCI 250s when the last of my Fed GM215Ms are gone.

Use regular 215's if you can't find them. I have seen no difference in the two at 1000 yards. I use 210 in my 300 WSM. Matt

I find it hard to find the regular 215s, let alone the 215Ms.

Check with Grafs they just filled my 215M backorder, they should be here in a few days

Dumb question: Is it a problem to use the 210 or the 215 primers interchangeably? I know the 215 is "hotter" than the 210 but do not understand the ramifications of substituting one for the other. I guess I missed the "primer 101" course...

Sorry to derail the OP subject.

The hotter primer can (not always) raise your pressures given the same powder charge. Something I do when working up a new cartridge/load with slower powders like N165/4831/560 and slower is start with Standard and Mag primers and work up using the same charge weights and see how each progresses

Always remember that any time you change any component, you need to back off and start over....

If It were me I'd back of a full grain, when going from a 210 to 215! My 2 cents.
