I have been in the process of reloading those Win AA hulls, which call for Winchester W209 primers. Since I've found out that the STS hulls would be a better way to go, I checked the Hodgon data center to work up a different load. It called for CCI primers, which I have not been able to find in this town. I called Hodgdon to find out what was going on. The tech there said that the CCI shotshell primers have been discontinued and that I can substitute Winchester W209 primers, PROVIDED I stay in the low range of the load data for the STS hulls. I will end up switching to a different powder only for the hull, according to the rest of the load data.
At any rate, contact your powder manufacturer/reload authors to find out how the primer substitution can affect things and adjust accordingly.
