Primer energy?

[duckloads]

I've searched but can't find it. I might not be using the correct terms, but I'm looking for energy content of the various primers. "Energy content" might not be the right terms, but I've seen a chart that rates the various primers for their "bang" factor.

Thanks

Many years ago, the NRA did a test. They used a single barrel weapon and put a rod on top of the primer. They then showed how far in the air each primer shot the rod.

Duck, look at this thread:
small rifle primers in a pistol round?

Towards the bottom of the first page, Paul5388 has posted the chart I think you're looking for. HTH
