CCI 209 Primers (1000/box)
CCI 209 primers are for field and target loads in all gauges. Modern, non-corrosive, non-mercuric primer compounds for clean, sure ignition.
CCI makes two shotshell primers to cover your needs. CCI 209 primers are for field and target loads in all gauges. The CCI 209M is a true Magnum primer designed for heavy charges of slow-burning propellants. That makes the 209M a superb choice for waterfowl loads. Both use modern, non-corrosive, non-mercuric primer compounds for clean, sure ignition.
CCI 209: field and target loads
CCI 209M: heavy waterfowl and turkey loads

What is the harm if I use CCI 209 primers instead of Win 209 like the reload data calls for. I use CCI primers in all of my brass cartridge reloadings. A while back I was at the store to pick up some handgun primers and also picked up a sleeve of CCI 209. I did this without referring to any reload data, the only thing I knew was that I would need 209 primers.

CCIs are still slightly oversized so the pocket is only fit for more CCI primers. That was the story 30 years ago, anyhow. The deal then was to use CCI primers only in worn-out cases and leave them on the skeet range.
