[QUOTE="CA48, post: 1321796, member: 21446"] As hand loaders we go to greats lengths to produce consistent ammunition. Reducing as many variables as possible, spending up to many hours to produce a single lot of hand loads, and with every detail of it there is a discussion present. Something I've yet to find much info on concerning primer sensitivity. Living in the Southern U.S. we experience hot temps year round that change velocities with even the most temp stable powders. This leads me to believe that there has be some effects with high temps and primer choice. In the constant strive to reduce all variables of hand loaded ammunition in hot temperatures I would like to do some simple testing in the future as I would think results will vary the highest in small capacity cartridges. There's seems to be almost no testing or info on the web towards the subject. Has anyone out there tested primer sensitivity with large and small rifle primers or know of any testing done? [/QUOTE]
