From the Remington web site (2006):
Question:
Are the Remington 209PSTS primers direct replacements for Remington 209P primers?
Answer:
Yes, they are a direct replacement. The amount of mix and the type of mix are the same. The flash hole is a little smaller for improved direction of the flame for a more consistent ignition of a variety of powders. The other improvement was a behind-the-scenes computerized control system for making the key primer mix ingredients. The whole improvement effort was directed at making a more consistent primer.
