It is generally believed that Continental hulls have slightly larger 209ish primer pockets than US hulls. And, that primers made by Cheddite or Nobel are correspondingly larger to fit.
However, many reloaders use US manufactured primers with no issues. Personally, I find Cheddite products not worth bothering with. Especially the primers, which have thin cups that tend to pierce occasionally in older double guns with more "robust" firing pins.
