mrgrabow Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Wondering if there's any downside to using the Federal #100M match primer vs. the regular #100's? Are the match primers just as soft as regular 100's? I've got a line on some 100M's, but wanted to check with you guys first! Thanks! Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark none at all. the match are just a tad bit softer but both will go bang every time. if it's a savings then do it!Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ak_tech Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I have used both and notice no difference. The same load works for both, etc. So other than cost I notice no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The match primers are popular for applications where extreme accuracy is necessary, the best Bianchi loads, PPC loads and Bullseye loads are examples.

pskys2 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Supposedly the only difference is the quality control. I've used both in my tuned revolvers with "light actions" and never noticed any difference. Even found some a few months back that were only $1 more per m than regular "IN STOCK"!!!

Jfitz427 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I use either, don’t care which I get, but the first time I bought match I was told they were even softer. But the regular have been 100% reliable with light springed guns. I have about 10k of the fed match right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoMiE Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 There was an episode on one of the gun shows and no difference in materials used between federal match vs regular primers. One is not softer than the other. The only difference is the person who is applying the priming compound is a more seasoned worker and they tend to be a bit more consistent which might give you smaller spreads in velocity in the match primers.
