I have never heard they made 2 different sizes before . I know they make different strength primers . But the only ones I have seen available here are the Clerinox CX2000 type 209 . Which are the ones I use that in Cheddite hulls that stay put . They measure slightly larger than American made primers . If I use any of the American made primers in Cheddite hulls they are a loose fit unless you condition the primer pocket first . I haven't had to buy any new Ched primers in a bout 5 years or so maybe they changed them .
Which Cheddite primers are you using ? |

I've used Cheddite for oh, I'm not sure, but for 8 or 10 years. I broke my leg 13 days ago so I can't get down in the basement to check. I did a little checking and found the Cheddite primers for foreign use were never imported to the USA, so I was wrong on that count. Here's some measurements:
This should answer some questions. Point A is the measurement at the top of primer. Point B is the measurement taken as close to the flange as possible. Primer Brand Point A Point B CCI .239" .241"- Cheddite .238" .243"- Federal .242" .241"- Fiocchi .243" .243"- Nobel Sport .242" .242"- Remington .241" .240"- Rio .245" .244"- Winchester .236" .242"- Wolf .238" .242" I'm not sure what a Cheddite hull measures.

And they're cheaper, the only reason I use them.
