Single base powder, for the most part, do not contain nitroglycerin, like many double based powders.
The higher percent of nitro in the powder, the faster the burn rate & more sensitive.
A double based powder may be the exact same composition, but different burn rates. The coating applied to the same powder, changes burn rate.
see post 13 here OR Here
Coated ball powders need a Magnum Primer.
Hope this helps. No sure of what your asking.

In regard to the Extreme powder line, it is a chemical additive in the 'recipe' when the batch is made. It is not a coating, or an additive after the batch is made.
It is the make-up of the added ingredients.
Cheers.
They are now making temperature-stable double-based powders, i.e., Winchester Staball HD, Ramshot Grand, etc.
I asked VV about the temp sensitivity of their powders, and below is what I received ...

Powder Lot Variations: A Case Study with H4831 - Hodgdon Extreme.
10% difference?
The differents between lots may be more important? Needing to work up a new load when a different lot number is used?

Not true.
Hodgdon re-labels Australian made powders called the "Extreme" range.
The label even says "Made in Australia" on the bottom strip of the label.
By now, i thought every one knows Hodgdon does NOT make powder.
Googles AI does not know.

The market changes, evolves as does the readership. That's why writers repeat some common topics as the readership anews.

Humidity or moisture content also affects burn rate. Perhaps it also affects temp sensitivity
