Default RE: 209 primers - too hot or not?

ORIGINAL: user06

I have been told that some 209 primers are too hot for using with pellets and actually "blow past" the pellets andnot all of the pellet powder gets used. Any suggested 209 primers on the market that address this problem? I hear Remington may have come out with a "cooler" 209 primer to address this problem.
IF you have a primer that is so hot it will blow hot gases past the powder pellets, the pellets will no doubt get better ignition than with a primer that WON"T blow gas past he pellets. Igntion and burning would have to bebetter with the hotter primer!

This is the first time I've heard of such a problem from a hotter primer-usually we hear of powder that is NOT getting good ignition!
