American Fed209a European CX2000 & Rio 209 Above used for slow burning powders. Edited September 29, 2019 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 You need an avid reloader like Cookoff013 or floating chamber to answer. I don't have a clue outside of the ones I posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeker Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 There's probably not a simple answer but a lot of if and maybe ... I suspect primer hotness is more a case of how it performs in a given load recipe than an absolute ranking? Or that's what I found with rifle primers. Try this article or search on "primer brissance". https://shotgunreport.com/2016/02/03/shifting-primer-strength/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Looking at the link the CCI209 gives nearly the same speed with lots less pressure, I'd take it as being a bit cooler than the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
