I found this.

#11 standard cap - 6.53 cc of gas at 3,024 degrees F when fired.
#11 magnum cap - 7.59 cc of gas at 3,717 degrees F when fired.
U.S. #2 musket cap - 14.36 cc of gas at 3,717 degrees F when fired.
#209 shotgun primer - 21.98 cc of gas at 3,024 degrees F when fired.
#200 rifle primer - 11.68 cc of gas at 3,024 degrees F when fired.

I'm surprised the 209 primer wasn't hotter. It seems the amount of gas is more important than the temp.

That's good to know!

I looked at the bh Web site it says the musket does not have the strength to ignite maybe that's the difference in amount of gases but does not mention temperature
