Cheddite primers

[muleman69]

Found some Cheddites yesterday for my shotgun, anyone using these ? If so what do you think of them?

They work fine .

Ballistically they are fine. Some (including me) have had trouble with them piercing and this is with mild loads. You won’t see a hole but rather a black spot. Makes for short firing pin life. If you don’t have this issue then load up. They work about like a ww209.

I’ve shot probably 50,000 of them. Good primers.

Some of the non American primers are slightly larger in diameter. Using them once will require the use of them in the future. Seating a few will quickly tell you. The way many trap and skeet shooters use up components, this may or may not be a problem.

Used a lot of them, work fine.

Work good for me but I've seen some guns that pierced primers as HTsmith said

Great primer. We have been using 5000 per year for the last 10 years.

I use them in trap loads slot. Work fine.they are slightly larger than others.

I tried them yesterday, had only one fail. I tired it a second time and it fired? Could it have been a hard one ? I shot three boxes and that was the only issue.

Of all the 5,000 count sleeves of Cheddite primers I've used, I had one FTF. It went on the second try. After the round, I popped the trigger out of my MX-15. The hammer spring was cracked. When you shoot a P gun, you keep a spare.
