Shotgun Primers

With the exception of 4,100 Federal 209's, I've always loaded Win 209 shotshell primers.

The price of Win 209's is about $45-50 more than Rio and Fiocchi primers.

Does anyone have experience with with Rio and Fiocchi primers?

I currently load two shells.
Both are with Win AA hulls
Win 209 Primers

Shot: 1.0 ounce
Clays Powder: 17.5 grains
Claybusters Wad: CB 1100-12
Rated Feet/Second: 1,180
Chrono Feet/Second: 1,205-1,210

Shot: 1.25 ounce
Clays Powder: 18.2 grains
Claybusters Wad: CB 1118-12
Rated Feet/Second: 1,200
Chrono Feet/Second: 1,195-1,205

Hodgdon doesn't give load data for Rio or Fiocchi primers. Where do I find this data? Where do I find dimensions on the Rio and Fiocchi primers. I've seen blowback from Federal 209's because they are slightly smaller than Win 209's.

Any other comments would be appreciated.

Thanks....

Thank you NuJudge.

I read them all. For now I'm going to stick with the Win 209's. I have 7,000 left. I'll decide after I see the results from other's who are switching at my club.

Thanks again!
