I was given a few hundred Alcan Max-Fire 220 primers yesterday. In small print it also says "Size 209". Do these interchange with other 209s of any sort? I think these date to the 1970s.
The Alcan was the "hot" primer in it's time. Use it with low-pressure loads, you shouldn't have any problems. I wouldn't sub it into any max load though.
