What's your take on Federal 215 primers?

I used magnum primer for W760 in my 06'... group tightened up nicely.
I read on the rest of the magnum write ups, and only the Weatherbys had the quote I wrote here, with the exception of the 375 weatherby, which wouldn't do it any good with it's heavy bullets. A few non-weatherbys use 215, but the rest use WLRM, R 9/12 M. Some 210.
I went on a Weatherby.dk and Weatherby nation forum. DK forum had a poll about the 215. Most on the Nation forum favors the 215. Here's the result.

To ignite the hefty charges of powder required for top velocities the Federal 215 primer is recommended. (The 215, a hot magnum primer, was developed specifically for this task).
