I am also grateful for the announcement here on their availability. Many thanks Quigley97!

I've used Cheddite 209's extensively over the past 8-9 years after they became readily available and can feel no difference in pressure to seat the primer in once-fired American hulls, as compared with Winchester and Remington STS 209's. Also checking some open box Winchester and Cheddites just now with a Starrett vernier micrometer ..... both measure .242" diameter plus/minus a tenth (.0001”) or so. I use the Cheddites for 4 loadings and then switch to Fiocchi 616's that are slightly oversize at .243" Starrett diameter for the last 3-4 loads before discarding the hulls. Yeah I know the Fiocchis are pretty much unobtainable nowadays.
