What's the difference between Fed Champion and GM primers?

The GM (Gold Medal) primers are supposed to be manufactured under tighter tolerance - so your standard dev out of the chrono (all other things being equal) should be narrower. I reloaded some 243Win and was told that if I want accuracy to use the GM primers to help reduce variablility. They are typically more expesnive - back before this primer shortage I paid $27 for some GM pistol primers and $22 for the regular ones.

The Gold Medal primers are sorted for consistency at the factory. Weight and dimension are the criteria if I remember correct. The same priming compound and components are used for both so they're used interchangeably. I wouldn't spend the extra cash unless everything else was sold out, like now...
