Haven’t seen Federal or CCI 209s at Midway (or anywhere else) in a while.

You’re right! Weird. I searched for available 209 primers and they didn’t come up. But then selected available primers and the Fed 209As showed up as available. Ordered a brick.

Powder Valley has them in stock at the moment as well.

Natchez has cheddites & targetsportsusa also has fed 209a's last I checked.

Is there an equivalent? Like cheddite?

 

[ElDiablo]

Equivalent to Cheddite or equivalent to Fed/CCI?

Assuming you mean output and not dimensions, heres some 209 data.





Edit: Note that this is shotshell data but gives you an idea of the relative strength of primers.

Interesting charts. Thanks for posting.
I mostly use CCI Mag and Fed 209A's, but also used Rem STS and Fiocchi Standards in the past without any issues. I believe dirty flash channels and flash holes are the underlying cause of most mis-fires.

I am a new muzzleloader shooter and was looking for hundred packs, could hardly find any, only larger quantities. Mentioned it to 2 of buddy's and turns out they reload shot shells, they gave me two 100 packs...no charge, cheddites and federals...

That was great to learn. TY for posting it.
Thats one thing that I will change now in my shooting. I usually grab whatever pk is closest in the plastic box all that kinda stuff is in for gen storage. I had pks of old primers that were several diff kinda consolidated from other boxes I guess. I've never kept record of what primer I use or any variances between them in my shooting log. I will change that practice now.
