Default Winchester primers

I've got some Winchester w209 primers that are likely 20 years old or more. They are a couple thousands longer than the Federal 209A I have, and I can't close the pivot action on my Kodiak with the Win's. Are the newer ones a little shorter in length?

Just happen to have this chart all made up...



The Winchester continues to be the longer primer...

I have the same problems with the Win 209's in a T/C Triumph. It takes the Remingtons fine..
