Federal Primers Question

[Shynloco]

Hey Guys,
What's the difference between a Federal 205 vs a Federal 210 Primer. Both are small rifle primers right?

205 small rifle, 210 large rifle, 215 large rifle magnum. Add an "M" to the end of any of them and it's a "match" federal primer.

200 small rifle ,205 &205M small rifle magnum, 210 & 210M large rifle,215 large rifle magnum. And yes the M is for match. Or so says my speer manual.

Hey thanks for the responses guys. What set my question off was a post by someone (I need to go back and try and find it) who listed a receipy for what I thought was a .223 in which they listed also listed using a 210 Federal primer. Now being relatively new to reloading and usually using CCI primers, I was at a loss of how that combo would possibly work in that caliber. Now I guess it is possible I was thinking .223 and it was actually 22-250 which I also follow very closely. But thanks nonetheless for the responses.
