Cheddite hulls most commonly available in Canada would be Kent and Challenger. Cheddite hulls have more capacity than Winchester hulls and are closer to Federal Gold Medal than anything else. Alliant suggests that any load of their's in Gold Medal will work equally well in Cheddite hulls.
While I've heard over the years that WW209 and Cheddite primers are interchangeable I've not seen data from anyone that would confirm this. I've interchanged the two without concern but feel that Cheddite primers are a bit hotter than WW 209 and will drop my loads half a grain if using Cheddite primers. YMMV.

If Rios aren't cheddites, they are close enough.
Cheddite hulls are straight walled as opposed to tapered walls like Remington STS, Gun Club, Peters blue, and Winchester AA, Super Sport etc.
You must use a straight walled wad in a straight walled hull.
Most European hulls are cheddites.
Cheddite primers can used used interchangeably with Win 209s. They are a fraction bigger than Rems or Wins so once you use cheddites, you can't go back to Win or Rem, or the primer will fall out.
Cheddite are as good as any and much cheaper. They also drop better in a MEC 9000.
