Primers - In general

I have had difficulty finding Remington sparkplugs lately which is my "go-to" brand. Not because I believe them to be any better than the others, but that's the brand I started with and simply stuck to for consistency sake.

Anyway, it looks as if I may have to change primers on one of my favorite loads and conventional wisdom is to reduce the charge by 10% and work back up - unless loading at or near the starting charge (by the way, the load in question is 22 hornet which has a small case capacity - if I were loading 45-70 I would be less concerned). All of this raises the question, however, of which brand is thought to be the hottest and which the mildest in terms of pressure. For the sake of this discussion lets not consider magnum primers.

I have heard that Winchester is considered to be the hottest, Remington the mildest, and all of the others in between (though I have never seen anything to back this up). What's your opinion?

It seems you can only vote for one of the options above, so choose the "hottest" in your opinion.
