One of the guns in my collection which I like very much has a weaker spring, but it's not really worth repairing.
Are there softer shotgun primers than CCI 209 that I am using most of the time?

What type of shotgun is it?I had a stevens sxs that I thought had a weak spring but it turned out to be a worn fireing pin.Alittle hand filing on the pin at the stop and it went back to normal...Robin

I know the condition of the parts and not going to do any repairs. Just looking for experience with different primers.
There could be found opinions on pistol/rifle primers softness, but I could not find same for shotgun primers.

There is a brand call RIO that may be softer.

I would try Cheddite primers as I have heard that they are softer.

Yep cheddite is the softest shotshell primer I've yet to encounter. They are cheap too and can be substituted anywhere win 209's are called for.

Not so cheap up here though, about the same as CCI.
