Is there really a difference in performance between brands of the same size primer? If I'm loading a batch and run out of CCI 250 large rifle magnum primers, will finishing the batch using Federal Gold Medal Match GM215M Large Magnum Rifle primers affect how the rounds shoot?

I'm not sure why one is "250" and the other is "215"...
