  Cheddite
Cheddite is an explosive compound used as a primer for shotgun cartridges.
Cheddite was also a fictional substance described in a comic science-fiction novel by Harry Harrison.
It was made by irradiating Cheddar cheese, and enabled faster-than-light travel.

- - Guhr Dynamite + KClO3 nitrobenzene cheddite (http://www.roguesci.org/theforum/high-explosives/184-guhr-dynamite-kclo3-nitrobenzene-cheddite.html)
Using (90%) KClO3 with (10%) vaseoline, the velocity increases with density, which is related to particle size and loading pressure, until it reaches a critical density, where it becomes insenitive even to PETN or RDX boosters.
I understand that this, and uniformity of the mixture, are the problems with most Cheddites and related explosives.

The grenade was normally filled with Cheddite that the Polish were also manufacturing but was also filled with plastic explosives obtained from the British.
When the pin is removed and the grenade thrown, the spring under the safety lever is free to reassert itself.
The body was normally filled with cheddite but other explosives may have been used.

I like the cheddites because of the price,but i shot a thousand of them in my cheap Baikal IZH-27 and the firing pin started flaking, and it started piercing the primers, i figured it was just my cheap gun.
Needless to say, i haven't used anymore cheddite's in any of my guns, and the problem(s) have gone away.
Cheddite primers have a softer cup and do peirce and erode firing pins.

 Passion & Compassion 1914-1918 : WW1 militaria and technical documentation - french grenades
Several cylinders models existed, and this device were to be used until 1917 (the cheddite explosive replacing the mélinite), each time that the demand exceeded the industrial capacity for modern grenades.
This stick was hollow, making place for a traction igniter setting fire to a powder line cord (representing a 5 seconds delay), linked to the detonators.
Those latter cause the explosion of the 400 gr of Cheddite charge, confined in the steel cylinder.

I've just finished using 15,000 Cheddite primers and had only one fail to fire and have not had a single primer head pierced.
I have used over 5000 Cheddite primers in AA and STS hulls in 12/20/28 and 410, and I have used Remington and Winchester primers also(with appropriate loads), and I have never had a problem with primer pockets being too large or too small.
My shooting partner, who started using Cheddite primers long before I did, has mentioned that early on, he had these problems, but he has used over 15,000 since then without a problem.

 Activ Hulls
Actually the cheddite is a lower pressure hull than the active.We tested the cheddite and active and the cheddite was lower pressure.
I have spoken to RSI people and they do say to use a cheddite hull in place of the activ hull for their recipes..
The Cheddite hull will yield lower pressure with identical load and a slight decline in performance will be realized.

Some Cheddite hulls that were factory primed indeed do have a tad bigger primer pocket now.
There are a few tricks that you can use to get 209s to fit better IF you do have the hulls with a now too big of primer pocket.
Last several thousand Cheddite and Fiocchi primers I got measure the same as AAs and STS.

 800shotgun.com :: View topic - PMC 209 Primers
Instead, company rep. responses like, "They are similar to Cheddite primers" are, IMOO, ir-responsible, unprofessional, and diametrically opposed to the response typically offered by the component manufacturers and industry, as a whole.
Since I have used up the PMC 209's I got (by someone else's mistake and with 16.0 gr.s e3, CB-1100's and 1 oz in Win and Rem hulls) I refuse to have anything more to do with e'm until they answer the various powder mfr.s requests for samples to run tests with.
I concluded that if PMC is close to Cheddite, and if Cheddite is close to Wincheser, than PMC is near Winchester.

 Cheddite Primers
as far as size is considered, the cheddite is just slightly larger that the ww209, but the brisance is not consistently comparable to any other primer.
I've loaded some 70,000 cheddites over the years and often go back and forth between winchester and cheddite without one hoot of problems with primer remaining seated or fit.
However, the Cheddite DOES have a more squared roll at the powder end and will occasionally not seat as smoothly as the others simply because of the "step-like" top rather than a smooth taper.
