Are the cheddites 209 the same as Winchester 209

What puzzles me is how come the French and Italians can provide components but not our US manufacturers. Same with loaded ammo all I see at the gun club are foreign hulls. I figured the supply chain by now would show more improvement.

I use them interchangeably and they're very very close. The Cheddite are tiny bit bigger and if you then load a Winchester the pocket may leave the primer a little loose. You can buy a tool to tighten the pocket but that's just way too much work. I just stick with Cheddite and call it a day.

Hey Frank,
After buying that wonderful 32" Parker from you, I came home and did order the Cheddites from BP. Five thousand delivered to my door in western Pa, the cost was $400. I try not to think about the cost, but rather the fact that I have 5k primers. I live 25 minutes from CAC, and guys call there weekly, and still nothing. So I am going to sit here and think I have a glass (Coors light) that is half full, not half empty!
