Hey cruizer, just curious if you’ve had a chance to try these in the Omega yet, and if so how did they do? Seems they’re all I can find around here as well, and I’m thinking about trying them in an Accura MR. I can only find 1000/pk though, and don’t exactly want to buy that many if they’re not going to do what I need them to.
Thanks for the update, that’s good to know. I think I’ll give them a try too if there are any left when I make it back to the store.
Just came across this online - Remember the Cheddite is a European primer, so it 's made to Metric Standards.
I use Cheddites at the range with BH209. They ignite it just fine. For hunting I use Federals (or CCIs) as recommended by Hodgdon. I think as long as the Cheddites fit your breech plug and you’re using a BH209 suitable plug, the only thing I’d worry about is ignition in really cold weather.
I'll update you in a few days. Just picked up a couple hundered Winchester W209 shotshell primers from a smaller gun store. They are the only shotshell 209s I've found locally.
You should be fine with Cheddites or Winchesters most of the time. I wouldn’t count on them on an important hunt or in cold weather.
W209 primers work great. My only issue was they were slightly longer that the Federal and CCI209M so I was getting a little too much crush.
