You can make fun of Cheddite if you want to but if it hadn't been for that company we would have gone several years without any 209 primers to buy.

That may very well have been the case for the vast majority but I’d already started stockpiling when the Obamite was you guys so called president .

Shot four of them in an NH 34” that weighs about 10 1/4 pounds with a nice KickEez on the back . They felt quite comfortable and took down a pair of rather stout (about 4” diameter ) limbs that were up a bit on the high side .
