Just a heads up for those living up on the Olympic Peninsula. Swains got in a bunch of Winchester 209 primers. I haven't seen these for a long time.
That is a really good sign that shotgun primers other than Cheddite are starting to show up.

For myself I have been using them for years reloading Trap shells and really have never had a problem with them. I have experimented with a little in a ML and they have worked, But... they are a shorter primer and very slightly fatter as they built to metric standards. Originally they were built to mimic the Winchester W209 in performance.

Back story, I was shooting Sporting Clays in Scotland with two Retired engineers. Engineers being Engineers after a round of clays it was time for a cup-a 9 (tea). The two started asking me what primers I used for reloading. The previous year the two took a brick of Fed, Win, CCI, Rem, Ched, Nobel, RIO and Fio’s and mic’d each one, did a heat test, and a pressure test. When done the Ched came out on top for being the most consistent.
