There is probably more to this than can be imagined but if a "hot" primer moves the bullet more than the "cool" primer that would have an effect on the time pressure curve of the round and introduce that as a variable in consistency of the rounds and therefore its accuracy. I can adjust my powder charge by weight to be as exact as I can but I have no control over the primer so I think that a cool primer would be more accurate with Varget than a hot primer. This way it is only the powder charge moving the bullet rather than the primer first then the powder.
Any thoughts form you amature or professional ballisticians out there?
Thanks,
Bill Daniel
