Greetings Gundamentalists,
Roger's question about a primer only load has me wondering about
primer strength. In a .22 round there is not much primer. But it's job
is to ignite the powder. When using larger caliber rounds with larger
amounts of powder do primer loads increase at the same ratio? In other
words, if twice as much powder is used, is twice as much primer load
also used? Just curious really since I only shoot .22s
Thanks,
Eric
Your .22 is a rimfire so it's a bit different in that the factory
applies the primer compound inside the shell casing vs. centerfire
calibers where the primer is a separate component assembly installed in
the shell casing. There isn't a twice the powder twice the primer type
of relationship and there are several different sizes of primers that
are used in various center fire calibers.
