A good breech plug won't hang fire in sub zero temperatures, i don't think. Myself, i don't use magnum primers. Make CVA breech plug look like Omega breech plug, and they don't hang fire. QRBP modified, don't hang fire. The made for Blackhorn QRBP shouldn't hang fire, but i cannot say for sure, with out having ever using one.
Just shot my 2013 deer with BH209, Winchester Blue Primer at -2 degrees. The Knight Elite 45 cal with a Lehigh conversion had been loaded for 3 days.
Instant ignition.
