If you haven't run across Dr. Bill Riehl's new website yet, I predict it's going to eventually turn into a great resource for serious reloaders. Right now the site is oriented primarily toward 1911-style pistols but posts like the following show it has potential for furthering the education of a lot of us who do match-quality reloading for competition.
Riehl, doctorate in chemical and materials engineering from the University of Dayton and username Feral, pontificates on primers and discusses his company's plan for manufacturing specialized or tuned primers because he feels "the next big step in accuracy will be done by developing primer intensities similar to powder burn rates." He goes on to talk about how he believes the .40 S&W requires a different primer composition from anything currently available to bring its accuracy potential up to .45 ACP levels. And his manufacturing company plans to do just that.
