Where do you get:
mixture of lead styphnate, antimony sulfide, barium nitrate, and other chemicals?

 

[Scalloper]

I was wondering the same thing. But if there was some of these components available I would think some here would know.

I wonder if my wife will let me make them in the kitchen?

So I reckon we can reuse the anvils? This should bring primers prices down to ??? The large tool, is it pistol or rifle? Or just make a little punch to wack the inside of a spent primer back to flat? Was gonna comment but all I did was ask 4 questions!

Is it really worth it? How much would you home fire insurance go up, or even pay, if a explosion or damage was done by fire, etc with you making your own, in house ?

The add says use inexpensive roof flashing I always thought primers were steel

Somebody trying to make a Buck on the shortage. I wonder how aluminum cups would handle pressures?

Not well at all I expect.

Most cups are brass.

Most cups are brass.

No primer I've ever dropped in the carpet has ever been made of steel. I wish they were, they'd have been found by my magnet.

Im open to allot of things but think ill give this a pass

There are guys at Cast Boolits that are making their own, and have been for a while. Most that make their own reuse old cups and anvils. There was a post on making primer compound with German made toy pistol caps as compound. He had high speed electronics that showed only a 4 millisecond slower ignition than factory made. While i am not sure if I am ready to try, I am ready to look at the idea and tools. Several companies are also making a kit to reload 22LR.

This falls into the arena of "Stuff I Don't Need To Chase", which includes other ideas like trying to make copper jackets for bullets out of 22lr cases or perhaps forming your own lead shot for shotguns. Slippery slope... next thing you know you are trying to make fireworks in your basement.

Before I have any new ideas on re-creating the wheel, I go to YouTube and do a search on the topic. This usually turns up a few dozen examples of what/how it will go wrong and law enforcement's involvement in the aftermath. NOPE!!!

I am apparently behind the times on this subject. I received an email from a supplier offering the kit for primer making . I looked it over and then emailed back. I asked where the anvils were to be purchased. The reply that I received was, ask the manufacturer. I believe I’ll pass on this endeavor. My competition reloading is already time consuming enough. I sorted Bullets yesterday. There‘s almost two hours of my life that I’ll never recover ! Sorting primers is as far as I will go.

At Lake City, primer mix was the most explosive powder on plant and their mixing up something like that? No thanks. Doug

 

[Walt Krafft]

Make your own primers? Hell no! I do know some using punches like this to make gas checks for cast bullets.

Too much work unless you're in a "Zombie Apocalypse" or "After the Atomic War" movie and there is no other source.
I got the hairbrained make 7.62x25 brass from 5.56 once. One session taught me enough about the ROI of my time.
