Wolf vs Federal 210M primers

Has anybody found any differences in SD and ES between the Wolf and federal 210M primers or vice versa ? I'm shooting a 6XC and have used Wolf primers for a while but am thinking of trying the Federals.
 
Unless someone knows something 210m primers haven't been available for at least a year. Several very good shooters were and continue to use wolf primers wit h great results
 
If you need 210M primers I can give you a source that still has them in stock. Just bought 5000 this week. Am hoping that they will be a little tighter tolerance than the Wolf.
 
When I was doing primer tests, (unscientific), I was getting the lowest es/sd with fed210m followed by tula. So if you can't get get f210m go with the wolf/tula.

I tried about 8 different mfgs during the test. I have my results some place.

If you find those results, please pass the URL along. I was using CCI-450, but need a softer cup now. I'm looking at either WSR or Fed205 or Fed205M
 
I tried Wolf last year in my 6BRX. I had been using CCI 450. Ended up switching to CCI BR4, had a good season. I shoot them in all my comp guns except 30BR which seems to like Fed standard.

In the 6xc sized powder column I had the best luck with wolf primers with h4350 but br or federal with Varget. Close for both. Had lower es and group size both in each scenario.
 
I found that having low Means Velocity and SD's are always going to give you the best results on paper. I have found that certain powders like certain primers, so my best advice to you is try as many as u can.
 
I have shot a lot of cci 200's . fed 210m's...rem 9 1/2's in my limited brief test in a cartridge that had a accurate load I kept the load the same and shot it with those three primers the fed 210m had the best ES and highest Velocity...So I have shot a lot of them year round even hunting at 0 deg F.. But I have had great accuracy with rem 9/12 in a few cartridges. I recently had bought some Seller & Bellot LR primers at cabelas they had a whole shelf of them for 25 bucks a brick..The SD and ES are small but the primers are on the small side,they go in a new case real easy and the sit deep in the pocket. Hot loads and they will not stay in the pockets but a mild load they might be ok. I don't use them any more.
I have shot 200 CCI BR2 hear in the last month and I am thinking it's kind of hard to beat the BR2. I will be using them from here on out as they just seem more consistent. But I do believe any primer can work with a given load, if tuned to it.
I have always wanted to try the Wolf Primers but I heard they were going to stop Importing them so I went with the CCI BR2..
The CCI BR2's are pricey IMO But I just bought some..
