penman53 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I have a primer stuck inside one of my small pistol primer tubes. Should I just pitch the tube and order some more or is there a safe way to get it out of the tube? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al503 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 If you're sure which way the primer is oriented in the tube (so you're not pushing down on the anvil), take the black plastic primer rod and see if you can gently push it out. If not, pitch it. It could just be some dust, media, etc., that might be stuck between the primer and the sides of the tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rooster cogburn Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Soak it down good with wd-40, wait a day or so then take a wooden dowel or aluminum rod and push it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimini Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Soak it down good with wd-40, wait a day or so then take a wooden dowel or aluminum rod and push it out. I agree. This is the best method. The WD-40 will make the primer inert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepickles Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 If you have a 2 liter handy, I bet it would make soaking the tube in water overnight pretty easy. Out of curiosity, were the primers Federals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
