Dimensionally, they are maybe one or maybe two thousandths larger in diameter than US brand 209's.

If you use a single stage loader or a manually operated progressive loader, like a MEC Grabber, you will notice a little more effort to prime a hull that had previously US primers.

After the that, they feel about the same.

I've used Cheddites and went back to using Winchester 209's and they prime just fine.

That's my experience.

Your experience was the same as mine . I first as a test set loaded two 410 with WIN 209’s fired them then loaded again with the Cheetos primers and fired them no problem . Then I loaded WIN 209’s in the same hulls again and tapped them n a block of wood plenty to see if they’d loosen or move but no cigar .

As of this morning BP had Cheddite primers back in stock and Clays powder in stock. It appears the reloading supply shortage is improving, fingers crossed. Our local reloading and ammo supplier has been getting in some loaded shotgun target loads, Federals and Gun Clubs seem to be sporadically available.

Yes, BP still had both as of 7:15. I hope this suggests the shortage is abating.

Graf and Sons as of right now has a variety of Alliant powders and I think a couple others.

$9.95 shipping and $19.50 HazMat plus sales tax.

I just got an 8 pound jug of Alliant Extra Light and 2 - 4 pounds of 20/28.

BP sent an invoice copy yesterday, billed to CC, and expect to ship primers next week. I called Hogdons and the CS rep from their reloading WS said they may have 700x in 8 lbs in two weeks. Let’s hope so.

I got my primers in 2 days ago

[john pulis]

Good to hear. They are slowly filling orders.

[Gary Laudermilch]

My for primers arrived 10 days after I ordered them. More amazingly Fed Ex moved the order from MN to my door in 24 hours.

I wish I could say the same for billing. They billed the correct amount to my card but then proceeded to bill a second charge for a different significant amount. I am now four phone calls into the effort to get my card credited for this second charge. The last time they said it would be corrected within the hour. Yea right, it is now 2 business days since and still no credit. I'll be on the phone again tomorrow.

Rookies. They charged my card for $4,200 for product I ordered (5K Cheddite) which were not actually in stock but showed being in stock due to someone cancelling an order. They charged it in four seconds, took 10 days to refund it. It was a "keypad error" I was told, but they were pleasant at least.

FX called last night and the primers are due this am, signature required. That is 14 days as they stated. Yaphank Shooting range has lead, 8-9 shot, for 45 a 25 lb. bag. They have 40 bags. Not sure if they will ship, but if your on or near LI…
