woke up saw your post, product in stock so I decided to take a shower and order from my lap top downstairs. By the time showered and got downstairs, product was out of stock. My advice don't hesitate for a second.

Well, if you want to pay a ridiculous price for 209s ($790 per 5k): https://ammunitionstore.com/categories/reloading/primers.html

That's a whopping $600 over midways price, incredible...

I would assume 209 primers are interchangeable but I haven't got past using pre-primed shells in my shotgun reloading to say for sure, though I'd be shocked if they can't be interchanged. EDIT: I'm shocked. LOL.

Good question it turns out, if the internet is right. ;-) Most of the comments say that Fiochi's primer hole is just a bit big for Cheddite primers.

I have used Cheddite Primers as a direct replacement for standard 209 primers for over 20 years with no problems, except when we sold Fiocchi ammunition.
The outside diameter of the Fiocchi primer is a bit larger than the standard 209 primer and the Cheddite (or standard 209) primer will sometimes blow out of the base of the hull. This could be quite problomatic in a semi auto.

Cheddite primers in Fiocchi hulls?

EDIT: Fiochi primer hole too big for any standard primer: http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?138154-Problem-between-Fiocchi-hulls-and-Win-primers

Nevermind - fiocchi primers .2430 - winchester primers .2415

Pretty much answers my question.

Wow, who would have thought that even shotshells would be affected the way they have been. If I remember right, it seems that even in the worst of times in previous ammo scares, you could always find shotgun loading gear, or a few boxes of 12 gauge target ammo at Walmart.

I think the 700 primed hulls, 5lbs of powder, and the $24 roll crimper I bought last summer were a great investment at this point. That's giving me interesting things to experiment with now that I've had to put my remaining SPPs and SRPs in a safe-deposit box due their extreme value.

EDIT: shooting off 20 shotshells has a joy exchange rate equivalence to about 50 .223s, 100 pistol, or 200 .22LRs -- at least for me.

As much as id like to have 5k of 209s that something between $10-30,000 in projectiles in my 37mm launcher! Yikes!

But I'll never pass up a deal on them anyways!

Not true. Shortages during the early 2010's, 209 primers were scares. It's when the imports became the new normal. But prices never got this outrages!
Even thou measured sized differ of the different brands, they will all interchange. Some may be just a little tighter or looser then others.
And this time shortages are bad all around. Centerfire reloaders bought the 209's for trading material because they couldn't get rifle or pistol primers.
And shotshell reloaders have "hoarders" too.
Pistol and shotguns powders cross over in use. Guess what else is in short supply? Even plastic wads are "out of stock."

Even plastic wads are "out of stock."

Hmm, any chance wads can be reused? Shotgunners always seem to leave those in the forests with the hulls too.

Well I have a ton of wads, hulls, and other shotgun goodies I will be posting soon. Came with a reloading setup I bought.

Tell the methheads they can sell them on ebay and they'll clear them out just like they do now with brass.
