Hello all!! My local store has a sale on federal 209A primers, I typically use Winchester’s and have been told that federal primers are a little hotter. Is this true? I also shoot a relatively light load to conserve powder and what not. Would I be ok leaving my powder amount the same since it’s on the lighter side? Or should I turn it back .5 a grain or so?

When the 209A first came out they came with a warning to be very careful what you put them into. I sold 100,000 of them that were marked as 209's on the 5000 cases. Discovered the error. What an easter egg hunt i went through finding the buyers and telling them of the error. Luckily most were regular customers. No law suits luckily. Refer to the loading manuals for your own protection. Gud luk.
