I deleted a prior post, as it did not truly convey my feelings, Dogfox.
If I was harsh, I truly apologize. I felt you were making more a point of pointing out my usage of an incorrect term than you were trying to help answer my original question. I have never seen any other term used for the burn, or explosion, rate of primers, and how they affect chamber pressures of identical (other than the primer itself) loads. Have you?
I do not think I replied in "vengeance". I am put off that you would go to the effort to correct me in my ignorance, but not offer the correct term for what was being discussed. I'd still like to know what that term is. Tom Roster, and many other ballistics writers and labs, over the years, have used the term "brisance". You have a grand opportunity to educate us all in the correct terminology, and I for one, would appreciate it.
I'm not defending anything, I truly want to learn. I assume that the people at Ballistic Products know more about how different primers interact with loads than I do, or I wouldn't have emailed them and asked for info. I would not assume that a ballistics lab and reloading components company would use an incorrect term just because I might have. I would hope they would use the correct term, if there is one, and be gracious in their correction.
