In a 3/4 oz 12 ga load? I would not hesitate to use the Win primer instead of the Rem. It will take something more, a lot more, than a primer change to get the pressure anywhere near the danger zone.

^^^^^^ Exactly^^^^^^^^

I am wanting to try some 3/4oz loads for trap practice. I only have Extra Lite powder on hand and Winchester 209 primers. The load guide calls for Remington Primers. I am new at reloading and not comfortable changing the recipe without some advice.

Is it safe to replace the Remington primer with the Winchester primers I have?

I think you are on solid ground

I have been reloading only a few months.

One of my favorite recipes is Extra-Lite powder, 15g, 3/4 oz, Winchester 209 primers, cb0175-12 wads, 15g @ 1250fps and either Winchester AA or Gun Club hulls.

I have even used Cheddite primers, no problem.

Here is the recipe

I originally used the 3/4 recipe from Alliant, but they spec'd the cb0178 wads which were too short. I didn't want to add a cheerios , so I switched wads. Its good now
