Remington Premier STS Primers #209 Shotshell Box of 1000

Clear Product Overview

Remington STS 209 Primers (Premier STS) are match-grade shotshell primers crafted specifically for competitive clay target shooters and precision handloaders who demand ultra-consistent velocities and uniform pattern densities. Formulated with Remington’s proprietary non-corrosive, non-mercuric chemical mixture, these No. 209 primers feature a smooth-seated mix charge and tight cup tolerances. Optimized for seamless integration into Remington Premier STS and Nitro 27 hulls, Remington #209 STS primers deliver mild, ultra-consistent ignition that prevents shell deformation while maintaining stable chamber pressures across high-volume range sessions.

Real-World Use Information

Whether tuning 12-gauge light target loads for skeet championships or crafting uniform 20-gauge handicap trap loads, Remington STS 209 Primers offer the precise thermal delivery required to burn light to medium target propellants clean and complete. Their outer cup dimensions seat with ideal friction into plastic hull primer pockets (especially Remington STS, Nitro 27, and Gun Club hulls). Compatible with automated shotshell reloading systems and single-stage presses (MEC, Hornady, RCBS, Dillon), these primers cycle smoothly through primer feed trays to eliminate feeding jams.

Compatibility & Requirements

• Hull Compatibility: Optimized for Remington Premier STS, Nitro 27, and Gun Club hulls; also fits all standard 209-size shotshell hull pockets (Winchester AA, Federal Gold Medal).

• Equipment Compatibility: Seats cleanly in all standard shotshell reloading presses (MEC 600 Jr, MEC 9000, RCBS Mini-Grand, Hornady 366, Dillon SL900).

• Safety Requirement: Always wear protective eyewear during handling, store primers in a cool, dry location away from heat sources, and strictly follow tested shotshell recipe manual data.

Pros & Limitations

Pros:

• Target-Grade Uniformity: Formulated for low velocity variation and tight pattern density in target shotguns.

• Smooth Hull Fit: Custom-engineered dimensionally to prevent stretching or loosening of primer pockets in re-usable target hulls.

• Clean-Burning Ignition: Leaves minimal carbon ash in action ports, choke tubes, and gas systems.

• Non-Corrosive Formula: Prevents chemical pitting on firing pin faces and chamber walls.

Limitations:

• Moderate Flame Heat Profile: Designed primarily for target powders and standard target/field loads; for heavy magnum steel or duck hunting loads requiring extreme heat, consult published recipe data before interchanging.

• Shotshell Only: Designed exclusively for shotshell hull pockets; not suitable for metallic rifle or handgun cartridges.
