Federal 209A Primers

The Federal 209A Shotshell Primer is a highly regarded primer known for its reliability and high performance, especially in shotshell reloading. It is a multi-purpose primer used by reloaders for a variety of shotgun loads, offering a strong and consistent ignition for both standard and specialized reloading applications.

Key Features of Federal 209A Primers:

  • High Energy: The Federal 209A is one of the hottest primers available, providing excellent ignition even in low-pressure loads, making it ideal for heavy loads or low-weight shot loads (e.g., 3/4 oz in 12 gauge).
  • Consistency: Known for delivering reliable and consistent ignition, making it a preferred choice for trap shooting and competitive reloading.
  • Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of 12 gauge shotshell loads, including 1-1/8 oz and lighter loads like 3/4 oz, due to its ability to handle both high and low-pressure conditions effectively.

Important Notes:

  • Pressure Considerations: When using Federal 209A primers, it’s important to follow load manuals precisely. The high primer energy can significantly influence peak pressures. For lighter loads or lower-pressure applications, be cautious, as this primer could result in higher pressures.
  • Primer Substitution: Substituting primers (e.g., Federal 209A for Winchester 209 or Remington 209P) should only be done with caution. Always consult reliable load data and adjust other components (such as powder) if necessary. Primer substitution can affect both pressure and velocity, so it’s important to test carefully or stick to data specifically for the primer you’re using.
