Who has utilized used primers.

25,000 rounds? I admire your shooting activity and your ability to acquire enormous quantities of ammo. Well done. call me if you ever feel the need to share the wealth. I don't know how to add a cute yellow face, but I'm wanting to add the winking face.

Hold down on the "like" button. Optional items pop up. As I said, I don't keep that much ammo on hand. Ever. Probably more like 3k-4k at any one time. It was more about of my way to long term store ammo. I have used this storage process for over 25k rounds or more over the years. Never had problems doing it this way.

I think he meant 250 rounds, over several years.
And all his rifles were lost in a tragic boating accident.

Don't have a boat.

Storing loose primers in an open container is very, very dangerous. The slightest spark........well, use your imagination.

 

[WinMag4me]

By the wording "discarded primers " I was thinking spent primers
I have loaded "fired primers " in shotgun shells for small rodents
Got to use all I got to get by in component shortages
But I have been doing this long before the shortage

Work with me, Dude! You got rid of the boat after the accident, right? You know, the one you lost all your guns in? Remember?

Maybe you didn't see the "How many guns do you own" thread.

Sorry.
Carry on.

Too much altitude, not enough oxygen.

Years ago I purchased 5000 de-milled Federal cases, all were primed. I full-length sized each case depriming in the process. I saved all the primers in a jar that came with my vacuum sealer. When the jar was nearly full I sealed it up using the vacuum sealer. When I could not and still can not find CCI200 primers I decided to give those saved primers a try. I took 100 primers out of the jar and inspected them. Only one looked hokie so I discarded it. All of these primers seated normally. I put a few in the rifle and snapped off the primers and they fired just fine and upon inspection showed nothing abnormal, I loaded the remaining cases with my proven hand load and all 90+ fired perfectly and produced the same consistently tiny groups that I am used to. Has anyone ever tried this? I had my doubts, but as they say, necessity is the father of invention. They seem to work just fine. And I have around 4800 primers that appear to be okay to use.

Yes, I did try it with some small rifle primers. The only issue I had was the primers seemed to seat a little too easily, as if they might just fall our of the case if it got bumped a little too hard. Other than that, it was all good. I just used those cases for barrel warmers, not for score.

You guys have rifles and ammo? Huh. Is that even a thing? Pistols? Suppressors? Aren't those things dangerous?
