Sorry, I didn't have any luck with the "Search" feature :( My question is .... there a chart for primers showing varying degrees of energy,and there characteristics, somewhat like a powder burn rate chart ?
Thanks,
jj

Hey jibjab,
Here are a couple of links that have I have seen posted before.

Maybe these will help.

This is kind of related to the OP's question but is there really a difference between match grade primers and regular? I understand the difference between other match grade components but match primers seems kind of unnecessary. Any thoughts?

Match primers are more consistently consistent.

They will generally result in better accuracy if the rifle is capable of showing it.

Thanks Seedtick, your links have made me even more curios. With the current primer shortage I am forced to consider primers I have not tried before.
