PRIMER DISPOSAL

Give them to a friend who will use them. Is there something wrong with them?


I think our local fire department accepts unwanted ammunition, etc. for disposal. You might check with yours.

Yeah, why toss 'em if they're any good?

These are 'new' primers, not old surplus, maybe mercury-bearing corrosive stuff?

Even the new ones are lead-based & need some thought before just tossing them into the trash.

Usually primers can be 'desensitized' by soaking with oil but then you have oily trash that contains heavy metals.

What kind of quantities are you dealing with here? Do you live in an urban location or out in the country somplace where remote burial isn't likely to lead to problems from neighbors or the EPA?
 
I like to take mine and place them about 8 feet apart in the carpet in the living room right before the wife vacumes with the hoover. I try to keep a spare belt for the vacume cleaner handy as well and a pillow in the garrage after the ass chewin starts. bzzzzzzzz Powwwww *^*&%*&%*&%$ Russ!!!!

Gotta love it.

i have fired primers that old and found them great for training plinkin, with non competetive use.

consider, WWII ammo shoots bang all the time.

if they were stored in some decent way they are very usuable for non competion.
