Primer Anvil

[CatShooter]

I found this in a box of Federal Large Rifle match primers a while back...

Good stuff - No foil, no felt, no "proud".

And no anvil and no bang

Catshooter,
I think you have misinterperated what I meant, what I was referring to are the feet of the anvil being above the cup BEFORE being put into a case, where they become flush with the cup. In other words, the anvil foot is higher than the cup, or, in fact, proud. If they weren't proud, a primer flipper wouldn't work.
The priming pellet is wet when put in the cup, true, and the anvil is only just resting on it at the time it is seated. It is true that it is left high for safe transportation.

Cheers.

I don't know what proud means but you can clearly see they are at varying heights. Primer seating can clearly effect ignition and group size at distance. If some are at crush and some are at touch and some are slightly off ignition suffers. It causes vertical at 1000 yards. Matt

FWIW...Pretty sure the correct word is "prowed". A term used in roof construction where the roof length is greater at the ridge than the bottom portion- aka an "eagle beak" roof. If you look up the CORRECT spelling, it means "bowed." Class dismissed :

Nope-the word is "proud" and at least in my line of work-being a veterinarian- the term "proud flesh" was and is used to describe what is "exuberant granulation tissue" or rather tissue in the process of healing that is raised above the surface of the surrounding skin.

So, anything that rises up over the existing or normal area is termed "proud"

If you are the least bit interested, yes, there are numerous methodologies to attempt to remove or minimize it without permanent damage.

There is your daily veterinary briefing.

Proud: To just protrude above the surface so it is sticking out a bit. A very common word used by woodworkers in the know! I'll send a bill to you for that lesson LH ;D

Proud flesh in horses came to my mind also when I read this thread. Google " proud not flush". Seems "proud" is a carpenter's term also.

proud 4 : raised above a surrounding area
prow[ed] 2 : a pointed projecting front part

It may be used in horse flesh and carpenter work, but it has no place in a technical/enginering world.

If primer safety was the reason, then the feet would be flush, so nothing could touch them... and the cone of the anvil would not be set into the compound, it would not be touching the pellet.

Primers do not go off in transport, no matter where the anvil is set. If they could, then no one would ship them.

Years ago a forklift driver bounced a case of primers off a pallet and ran ran over them with a forklift. They went off and set a bunch on the skid off. That is why Federal has the red and purple coating on them. To transport they had to put on the coating and put in little plastic divided trays. Call them and ask and they probably will tell you.

Wrong once again, Professor ;D

From one of my wife's Structural Engineering books, "Techniques in Structural Design" - "proud" - "Projecting or protruding from the surrounding area".

And another: University of California San Diego text book from their school of Structural Engineering: Modern Architectural Design: "proud" - "raised or protruding".

The photo above depicts PROUD.

Protruding beyond both ends of the tailgate.

Protruding above the 6'-3" frame of one of the shark fishing amigos

Thresher, not thrasher.

 

[Joe Salt]

Thresher is to separate, like grain from Straw! Oh and I seat my primers 6 thou. And they work nicely.

Ho Lee Schitt! What a thread this turned into.

The foil is there, Cat, but it is embedded in the compound and is not normally noticed. I loaded for four years before I saw a couple that had become separated.

Nonsense... if you knew how primers are made, you would know that is impossible. Four whole years - golly, I am impressed.
