Ok to use Federal 215M instead of 215?

I have a load of 96 grains of IMR-4831 with a 480 grain soft-nose bullet for the .450 Nitro Express 3 1/4". This is to duplicate the Hornady factory ammo. I can't get any Federal 215 primers but can get the 215M primers. Anyone have experience with both primers?

Use a double rifle. It just feels better.

Only difference is the 215M is the match grade version of the 215.

Thanks for the info guys. I thought it might be simply a "better" version of the regular 215. I am going to use it for .450 Nitro Express loads.
