One reason would be that in my experience, CCIm primers tend to leave more residue/fouling that an STS primer. Not a big deal on a hunt, more so at the range. A hotter primer would also likely erode the flash channel faster.
I don't get sub-zero temps in VA, but I've never had a problem with the STS primers igniting BH209. Easier for me to find at stores too.
