I DO think it is hotter, but have not measured it - just observation. Was having some pyrodex ignition problems and it solved them. The main reason is they are a LOT easier for me to handle.
Pretty much my take. I have a capper, that I use when hunting, but do not really like. When I am just shooting I use a pair of Hemostats (I think that is the name) and grip an ear with them , and install. Works real good with a scope on. miles
