denton,

Always appreciate your observations. Thanks once again!

But would also have to comment that the head of a major powder company's ballistic department disagrees with the strain/piezo results. But that's not unusual in such, uh, sensitive topics.

Might also note that have talked to a couple of long-time heads of major pressure labs. One recommened two specific brands of primers (one SR and one LR) as the most consistent in their tests. The other guy also recommended two specific brands. Neither man's recommendations matched the other--and both had been in their job for decades.
