Annealed Primers?

[joshb]

I was looking for primers and saw some “annealed primers”. Never heard of this. Anyone know?

 

[rijndael]

I was also curious about that. I noticed that company offered them both ways, regular and then "unplated and unannealed"

Multiple pages on how to anneal primers beginning in 3, 2, 1.........

Just a guess… the primer cups are annealed to make them softer and easier to ignite?

That was my first thought, but…..

Probably a marketing description error ... maybe reusing a template and changing the description?

Wait ... lemme drop some primers into my AMP and push the "Run" button. What could go wrong ... eh?

They are a legitimate item as listed on Winchester’s web page…

Scroll down to the Commercial primer section where they appear as Olin Q5608M and Winchester #41. Unfortunately, additional details are not provided.

Wow, double wow.

I thought I had seen it all.

Good guess and better than mine. Id have to wonder why they would be cheaper though? Especially if they add another process in.

I wonder if it's related to crimped primer pockets. Do you want an annealed primer if you're crimping the pocket afterwards?

I've "heard" they're really loud in an AGS annealer if you forget and leave a live one in a case....

Thedescription says "unplated/ annealed" .... maybe all primers are annealed but left in an unplated state to differentiate? None of the military ones say annealed ... only the commercial ones....

Still just guessing!

[PatMiles]

Wow. Apparently there's Q5608 and Q5606. The Q5606 is unannealed and unplated. Both listed as mil spec.
My head is hurting.

I annealed a primer before, or I annealed a primed piece of brass. You only do it once

Not true
It’s one reason I load up my giraud , point it in a safe direction
And walk away
I’ve annealed several primed pliers of brass and one 223 round that had a bullet shoved in it I missed so there was some powder
Primed brass just pops
Blows out the flame
The round threw brass everywhere
No damage to the machine at all

My procedure for annealing is always tumble the brass first
Load the annealer looking at each case mouth
Start it up
Walk away
