    I load the 6.5 Grendel and will start the 224 Valkyrie. The Hornady reloading app calls for Federal 205 M (match) small rifle primers. I have had trouble with theses primers as they can run slightly larger than most other small rifle primers (Sierra reloading phone line). Can I substitute either regular small rifle primers, or bench rest primers?

    Yes, you can. Primers do vary in their properties , but not enough to matter in your applications. All those types you mentioned should work fine.
