The Federal GM155M Gold Medal Premium Large Pistol Primers deliver match-grade consistency for precision handgun reloading across multiple calibers. These primers feature Federal's proprietary priming compound formulation that ensures reliable ignition and consistent velocities shot after shot. Competition shooters and precision reloaders choose Gold Medal primers for their proven track record in high-stakes matches.
What Makes This Different
Gold Medal primers undergo additional quality control steps compared to standard primers, including individual primer sensitivity testing and lot-to-lot consistency verification. The advanced priming compound burns cleaner and more completely than conventional formulations, reducing fouling buildup in precision barrels. Federal's manufacturing process maintains tighter tolerances on cup dimensions and anvil positioning, resulting in more uniform ignition timing across the entire lot.
Key Features
