Federal Gold Medal Match 210 primers VS Federal 210 ?????
Is there any real difference between these two primers ???
Any benefit from the "Match" vs non-match????
Thanks for the input, always appreciated.

Mostly I buy the match primers.
But Latly I have had a hrd time finding them.
so I bought a bunch of the 210 regular and the 215s for my magnums.
I can,t honestly tell much difference.
I will say I like federal primers best,
and in my largest case,(7mmSTW) I get an honest 75FPS velocity gain over the other primer brands I tried.
When I find them I will be buying the 210M and 215Ms againsimply beacuse they are not much more money and I want the best...tj3006

I have posted this on here before, you just have to try them in your gun and see if there is a difference.

I own a 6mm Remington that shoots MUCH better with Fed 210M primers versus Fed 210 primers.

I own a 7mm Wby Mag that shoot MUCH better with Fed 215M primers versus Fed 215 primers.

I own two 22-250 Remington rifles that shoot a little bit better with Fed 210M primers versus Fed 210 primers.

I also own a bunch of rifles that just show little preference for one or the other.

Sooo, I just shoot Fed match primers for the most part, what can it hurt?

The only rifle I have seen where the difference between match and standard federal primers has been in a Sako 338 lapua. I shoot 100 grains of H-1000 behind a 225 TSX. The match primers shoot a bit better and give a better standard deviation on the chronograph.
