Cheddite primers


Reloading    2 Replies

So, most of what I read says Cheddite primers are similar to Win 209 and most say they sub the Cheddite in when the load calls for Winchester and they can’t get the Win. Also, there are Cheddite 1000 and 2000 and most seem to be 2000- that’s all my LGS has. Even the Win. 209 “for muzzleloaders” are gone and Cheddite is all that remains.

Why? Why can I buy 1,000 Cheddite CX2000, type 209 primers but no Fed, Win, Rem, CCI… What’s so special about Cheddite that they can put product on the shelf when nobody else can?

We just got home from shopping. We’d only been home about 15 minutes when we heard a loud bang from the garage. This is what we found:

It’s electric so it appears to be a pressure build up. Our home warranty, American Home Shield has arranged for the plumbers to call in the next 24 business hours to schedule the appointment. Which means they won’t even call until Monday or Tuesday. No telling when they will actually show up.

Win. 571 / HS-7

… for your load data

The thing is, I have some very well preserved Win. 571 that I’d like to use. I also have a bunch of 12 ga Federal Gold Medal hulls. (I don’t want to throw my AA tubes out in the field, since my daughter-in-law shoots an auto.)

Does anyone have a 1 1/4  or  1 3/8  or even 1 1/2 oz load?
