Any data or chart showing different brand primer energy or presssure?

[Rule3]

Question came up on another forum.

Any definitive test or articles that show actual tests of comparison of different brand primers amount of energy?? Not hard or soft or anecdotal but any real data comparing them??

I have a old chart that shows the energy of CCI primers but this may have changed over the years and nothing to compare it to.

I interchange them but am not using max loads.

Anything that shows how much pressure if any a primer adds to a load??

Winchester LP for example is both regular and Magnum so how does that compare to the others??

We must have DATA!

This is a pretty good read, but it's about Lg rifle primers only.

Again, this is for rifle primers but information may be useful - http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1203/1203.2701.pdf

Thanks guys (I think)

Guess I asked for it. There is a lot to digest in those articles. Any Cliff Notes version??

Sometimes ignorance is bliss!

The guys who load for 9x19 Open Class pistols with compensators, often have get maximum burn rates out of their loads to tune the comp. to do it's job .
Those I know, use Federal Magnum SPPs to do so. A number of these guys can likely say what gives the max. burn rates out of their pistols, and what doesn't.

Again rifle primers but an interesting article:

Here's another interesting test of primer strength:
