Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters MARCH column: Primer Flattening

I know, John. They keep testing to verify and advance the science. Because I never worked in development, I have relied on the testing that the powder/explosives companies employ and trust their data.

I only worry about pressure when I'm testing new powders. Then, I depend on my chrono. Some might call me naive, but pressure and velocity are closely tied together. I never worry about primers because I was told years ago, despite due diligence, things fail from time to time. They are the exception, not the rule. Try not to worry about the "what ifs".
