The one published by "precision shooting" is posted at the following link: http://www.prfelr0.f2s.com/prfelr0/ click on primer 1 and primer2. HTH, Dutch.

Doesn't appear to work. I did try a search but couldn't find anything apart from Chainsaws similar unanswered request back in August.

These are the links to the two pages, directly.

I also had no problem finding the thread in the archives.

Now, I tend to read pressure signs from my primers first. Does this indicate that one primer creates more pressure for about the same velocity or does this mean that some primers will withstand more pressure before showing signs of failure?

Almost forgot, Saeed has some data too http://www.accuratereloading.com/primer.html

Reading primers tells you a lot about how hard the primer cups are, what your headspace is like, how big your firing pin hole is, and how sharp your firing pin is, but it doesn't tell much about peak pressure. FWIW, Dutch.

Yeah yeah yeah, and matchkings won't kill a deer. What is the pressure of a .44mag? It's higher than 30-30, and not much less than the 30-06. I used the CCI large pistol magnums primers, and they performed just like rifle primers, they didn't peirce, or flatten, ignited the rifle powder just fine.
