Federal GM205M Gold Medal Small Rifle Primers 1000/Box 5-Case

The Federal GM205M Gold Medal Premium Small Rifle Primers deliver match-grade consistency that competitive shooters and precision handloaders demand. These multi-caliber primers ignite consistently across temperature extremes while maintaining the tight tolerances required for sub-MOA accuracy. Federal's rigorous quality control ensures each primer meets Gold Medal specifications for reliable ignition and minimal velocity deviation.

What Makes This Different

Gold Medal primers undergo additional manufacturing steps that standard primers skip, including enhanced quality control testing and tighter dimensional tolerances. Each primer receives individual inspection for proper seating depth and anvil alignment. The result is shot-to-shot consistency that reduces extreme spread by up to 15% compared to standard small rifle primers, translating directly to tighter groups downrange.

Key Features

• Match-grade consistency with minimal velocity deviation for precision shooting
• Multi-caliber compatibility with popular cartridges including .223 Rem, .308 Win, and 6.5 Creedmoor
• Temperature-stable formulation maintains reliability from -20°F to 125°F
• Enhanced quality control with individual primer inspection
• Non-corrosive, non-mercuric compound prevents barrel damage
• Bulk packaging of 5,000 primers total (5 boxes of 1,000 each)
• Consistent cup thickness and anvil positioning for uniform ignition

Competitive shooters rely on GM205M primers for F-Class and benchrest competitions where single-digit extreme spreads separate winners from also-rans. The primers maintain consistent performance across varying powder charges and seating depths, making load development more predictable. Their reliable ignition characteristics work equally well with temperature-sensitive powders and double-base formulations commonly used in precision rifle cartridges.
