Very Reliable | 11/3/2024 |
| I’ve probably reloaded 20-25k 28ga & 410 bore over the last couple years using these primers. I can only think of one instance where I had a bad primer. I have no reason to use any other 209. | ||

No reason to go back | 9/18/2023 |
| Ive been using thousands of these primers for 12 gauge Trap loads and .45 Cowboy Fast Draw bullets using wax bullets and 209 primers. Never had a problem or failure. The price is great, the quality is excellent. No reason to go back to the overpriced domestic manufacturers that left us high and dry in our time of need. Vive La France! | ||

Top quality | 6/13/2023 |
| Very reliable, out of hundreds Ive had maybe two or three failed to fire and that may have just been a light primer strike. | ||

Consistent & reliable ignition | 1/11/2023 |
| After 30 years of reloading pistol & rifle munitions, I am doing a deep dive into shotshells. Revivals of the old rolling thunder events has me wanting to develop my own loads. After getting up to speed on powders, primers, related 12ga components, Ive purchased my first batch of Cheddite primers, based on customer reviews here & elsewhere. With few exceptions, Cheddite is the best for the dollars spent. Supported by BPIs vast database of practical knowledge I know where I wish to start. Ill report the results come spring-summer season... | ||

Good primers | 11/3/2022 |
| While I havent purchased any of these primers directly from BPI, I have been purchasing them as part of loaded hulls for a long time. Now that BPI has been selling the RIO unprimed hulls Ive been using these to prime those hulls with great success. They fit tight and dont have any issues. I have yet to have a Cheddite primer fail to ignite in either pre-primed hulls or reloaded ones. Loading data is available for these primers. I would be buying them from BPI but I have a local source which saves me the HazMat fee and we are all trying to save money. But I do want to pass along my success story and the use of these especially in the RIO hulls that BPI is selling. They work well and the price from BPI is very competitive. Highly recommend. | ||

Cheddite Primer | 12/29/2021 |

Cheddite Primers are gopod in USA shells. | 12/20/2021 |
| Ive been using these primers since 2018 and found them to be a good fit in Remington or Winchester AA hulls. Note have never found that they loosen primer pockets as many have claimed in 20 or 12 gauge hulls. However I did have the case head on one single STS 410 hull split, the other 99 did not. As for defects, in the past year I have had 3 primers fail to fire but that was out of 7000 rounds loaded. Note, I shoot competitive Skeet so there is a LOT of practice involved, typically around 8000 rounds per year. Prior to this year Ive never had a Cheddite primer fail to fire. | ||

Primers | 11/28/2021 |
| It was a pleasure doing business with BPI. I ordered primers when they were available and I should be good for a little while. Now I wont have to take up bowling! Thanks again and hats off to BPI for the primers! | ||

The best price during the shortage | 11/22/2021 |
| The service is great. People buying need to have patients as getting orders take about 2 weeks to get ready. | ||

Great customer service Do not shoot in Krieghoff | 11/16/2021 |
| I purchased 5000 Cheddite primers. I loaded several with different powders and wads. I had several primers pierced with my Krieghoff K80. I spoke to Krieghoff and it is very common with those guns. I have zero issues with Winchester 209, Fiocchi 616 primers piercing. I would beware if you shoot a Krieghoff. | ||

Perfect seating in AA and Gun Club Hulls | 11/9/2021 |
| I interchange these with federal 209A and Win209s on a regular basis. They all seat perfectly no matter which one I use before. They feed through my MEC 9000gn newer primer feeder every time without anything hanging up, so if they do, its probably a simple adjustment at the feeder mount bolt and/or the release button cam. I have 4 9000s and they all feed perfectly 12,20,28,410. I know nothing about the older version feeder with the steel chain on it. | ||

Great Primers - Even Better Price | 11/6/2021 |
| These primers are very reliable. I get full powder ignition across a wide variety of loads. You simply will not find a better price than here at BPI. Awesome product. | ||

Love these primers | 10/19/2021 |
| This is the first time Ive used these primers and have to say Im a fan. They are affordable and seem to more or less match the WIN 209 primers I was using. They fit very well into European hulls but will stretch the primer pockets of American hulls...FYI. I plan to buy more if they ever come back into inventory as I will make them my go-to for as many loads as possible. | ||

Pronounced sh-deet | 9/28/2021 |
| These are great shotshell primers! I pronounced them ched-dite for years, until I had to phone in an order and heard somebody say it right. | ||
|
no issues with cheddite | 9/17/2021 |
| Dont understand the fuss over size. Have used them in Remington and Winchester shells, then reloaded with either Remington or Winchester primers. No primer has fallen out. I do use an o/u, so maybe different in a semi. | ||

Thank you BP | 9/17/2021 |
| Just purchased Cheddite 209 shotshell primers and it is so refreshing that you kept your price point close to pre-covid and pre-panic pricing. As we all know, the current primer and powder pricing we are seeing is just too expensive. The hazmat coupon was much appreciated as well! Thank you again, you will be my first choice for my reloading needs! | ||

Cheddite primers | 9/14/2021 |
| The more recently imported Cheddite primers in the blue packaging appear to be made to US size spec standards. They work well in all of my Remington Winchester and federal hulls | ||

Brilliant service and support | 2/8/2021 |
| BP rocks. The load development and load kit combos are amazing. Smart and helpful folks answer the phones and emails. Great product offerings including ched primers and hulls now obviously out of stock here and everywhere. We are all obviously waiting on the manufacturers but I’m counting on BP. | ||

Inches vs metric | 8/27/2016 |
| Federal primers are made in inches . Cheddite are metric. Cheddite will hang up. Use USA primers in USA shells & use Metric in Europian shells. USA primers are 0.241 Metric is .0242 | ||

Only Primer Lacquer Sealed?? | 12/21/2013 |
| Advertised as the only primer that is lacquer sealed but WOLF 209 primers have the same seal...so Im curious as to who is making what for whom?? | ||

Cheddite 209 Primers | 4/12/2013 |
| Used this for my first ever 12ga loads, Used a mec 600jr with #302-118 charge bar, hodgdon clays, remington gun club hulls and rem fig8s wads. With 1.125 oz of shot the shot gets there much faster than any factory load and is great for busting clays. | ||

Shot shell primer | 4/10/2013 |
| Its a good primer with lots of data behind it. The primer is .001 larger in diameter and what that means it once you use these your best to stay with them because the primer pocket hole gets stretched out and if you go back to a fed primer it may fall out from the recoil. so once you go cheddite stay with them. Its a great primer you wont be sorry. | ||

CHEEP AND GOOD | 8/20/2011 |
| HAVE USED CHEDDITE PRIMERS IN 12GA. RELOADS AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THEM THE LOAD AND PREFORM AS GOOD AS WIN.209 PRIMER AT A FRACTION OF THE COST. THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE HEARD IS WITH THE FIRING PIN GONING THROUGH ON SUB GAUGES. | ||
