The Federal GM200M Gold Medal Premium Small Pistol Primers deliver consistent ignition performance for precision handgun reloading across multiple calibers. These match-grade primers provide the reliability competitive shooters and serious handloaders demand for achieving maximum accuracy potential.
What Makes This Different
Federal's Gold Medal primers undergo stricter quality control than standard primers, with tighter tolerances on sensitivity and pressure curves. Each primer features consistent priming compound distribution and uniform cup thickness that eliminates ignition variables. The result is shot-to-shot consistency that can reduce extreme spread by up to 15% compared to standard small pistol primers.
Key Features
