Default Could use some help on primers

I recently started reloading 16 gauge shells (both 2.5 and 2.75) on MEC 600.
Currently loading once fired 2.5" Cheddite hulls, 7/8ounce lead #8, SG16 wads, 17 grains of PB powder (acquired almost 40 pounds) and win. 209 primers. It produces a very low pressure, mild shooting load that patterns well out of both of my 16's. This load has been tested.
I have ordered 1K new primed cheddite 16 gauge 2.5" hulls and have not been able to find any load data switching out only the primer to Cheddite.

My question to this group is:
1) does anyone have any tested data.
2) educated guess in regards to pressure when replacing Win. 209 with Cheddite primer.

Thank you in advance,

Byron
