Old School Green Dot

I would think the CCI and Win or Cheddite primer would all pretty much be interchangeable. The CCI209M and Fed primers are hotter and would need about 1 gr less powder.

[C.O.B.]

I have used the cheddite and Win primers and haven't changed anything else. I believe they are for all intent and purposes the same. My go to powder for the 28 has been Unique for 20 years.

No objections to the loads accessed from the sixties loading manuals. They probably won't blow your gun up. The date of the manual is my only objection. Fifty years later, loading information is available on the powder company websites. In the sixties, a recommended target load for 12 gauge was 23 grains of Red Dot. Today, it is about 17 grains. Do you see the problem?
