Reusing primers

[horseman]

That's a lot of primer dust in there. I'd try a few just in an mty case to see what kind of "pop" you get, if any. Then try a couple rounds made with your "worst" cast bullets..(I know you have some ) worst case scenario is you have to pull a couple bullets and powder. Sure ain't gonna blow anything up. Oh, happy new year pard...

now all you need is a nice flat center punch, tweezers, a few rolls of caps and a whole lot of time. Assuming Arthur hasn't invaded your fingers

Ordered 2400 caps yesterday. No, I'm not going to rebuild these any time soon. But I'll be ready if I ever have to.

I also reuse primers from disassembled cartridges. The process of priming and depriming pushes the anvil against the foil cover and the priming pellet. The foil cover may end up damaged and the priming pellet crushed. Wouldn't be surprised if some of those primers suffered this and the compound leaked out.

Yea, that's exactly what happened Mac. Still can't figure how they got stashed away
in my router case ???

Whenever I am searching for something in the workshop I am always amazed at what I find :-)

[larryw]

Yup, same here Mac, epically, the last 5 - 10 years. I think it's gonna be comical, I don't think I'm gonna
like senility, at least so far I don't????

I don't remember if I can relate or not... I don't even remember if I don't think I'm gonna like senility or not ... was that a question?
