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.
What is it that you find to be impossible? That the primer does in FACT contain a piece of paper foil, or that it can't become separated? Not possible

Oh my :

You'll never admit you are wrong, will you Professor ;D
Reference the photo on thread #39. I suppose my eyesight could be failing me, but, it appears to me, the compound shows separation ???
Lesse....
First there is a felt pad between the pellet and the anvil. But that would cushion the firing pin (and be easy to see), so that is not working out.
Then the felt pad is inside the pellet to absorb moisture - but felt is hydroscopic, so that is not working out... and how did the felt pad get "inside" the pellet??
Then the foil is on the pellet, which also should be easy to see, but it is not there... so that isn't working out
Now the foil is inside the pellet??? Are you kidding? The pellet is extruded wet into the cup, so how did the foil get inside of the pellet, and the greater question is, why would a primer manufacturer put a foil inside the pellet - and to what end??
"I suppose my eyesight could be failing me, but, it appears to me, the compound shows separation.
Get some eye glasses, your eyesight is definately failing. There is no compound separation.
:
No felt, and no foil... just priming compond that shows the impression of the anvil when it was put in while the pellet was wet.
Now, grow up... you don't know doodley squat about this.
