Reliable Ignition for Rifle Reloading

A primer plays a critical role in the performance of reloaded ammunition. It ignites the powder charge and initiates the firing sequence, making primer reliability essential for safe and consistent shooting.

These primers are designed for standard large rifle cartridges, offering reliable ignition without the stronger ignition characteristics associated with magnum primers.

According to Federal’s component specifications, the #210 primer is classified as a standard large rifle primer with a nominal diameter of .210 inches and is designed for large rifle cartridges.

Ideal for Popular Rifle Cartridges

The Federal 210 large rifle primer is widely used in a variety of popular rifle cartridges. Because of its consistent ignition and reliable performance, it is commonly selected by reloaders developing loads for hunting and target shooting.
