opensol Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Is anyone reusing the primers that fall off the primer dispenser? In other words, I have an attachment that catches the primer that for whatever reason was never set in the casing so it falls into this little tube. I want to reuse those primers. Any reason why not?

PKT1106 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Are you talking about repressing the cups, filling it back up with priming compound and inserting a new anvil for the primer cup to be re-used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDA Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Are you talking about repressing the cups, filling it back up with priming compound and inserting a new anvil for the primer cup to be re-used? I am fairly certain he wasn't implying spent primers and was referring to live primers. Although, I did see a video once where someone made liver primers from spent primer cups.

opensol Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 RDA is correct. These are live primers that fall off into the chute and then a plastic tube attachments I bought on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWNZRO Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I think he's talking about the little tray that catches unused primers. When I see it getting full, I put them in a tube and load them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorfish Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 The live primers you're collecting in your bottle are no different than primers you may have spilled on your bench. If you don't feel comfortable reusing them, store them in well marked containers by brand/type and I'll be by to collect them in a couple of years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redial Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Spent SP or SR primers can be used as marginal airgun pellets in .177 launchers. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
