I just got a dog training revolver that takes 209 primers instead of blanks (blank prices are silly, around $13 per 100 for .22 Shorts).

The thing works well. In fact, it's TOO loud.:)

I used the Winchesters I have on my reload bench. AFAIK they're middle-of-the-road, i.e. loads get a bit hotter when you use Federals, but Winchesters are about the "standard".

Can anyone think of a 209 primer that's pathetic? As long as it's non-corrosive, that's what I'd want.:)
 
Federal standard 209 is the hottest, Remington standard 209 is the weakest....but I really doubt there's more than a decibel or two difference in terms of sound. I've never compared them by sound before, though.
