I have to disagree with that in both the ramrod test and the ball test Win 209 came out about 1/3 of the way up the chart. The Foschini came out the weakest in both presure and flame tempture.

Hey Lee, just going by the chart that the BH209 guys used that rated the primers. Not even sure who did the study. You may be right though, but I did have ignition problems using the Winchester 209 primers. When I went with the magnum CCI and Federal primers, they went bang everytime.
