I am faily new to reloading. I used to reload shotshells in high school but have recently gotten into reloading for my 270 Weatherby. I have a lot of Hornady 130 Gr. SP bullets and the loads that I see from Hornady in their manual mention I need to use a Federal 215 primer. Is this an absolute requirement or can I substitute this for a CCI 250?

The only problem is I have checked with my local store and every online retailer I can find. No one seems to carry the Federal 215 for some reason. Would any one be able to shed some light on this for me or direct me to some place that would carry these primers, thanks.
