The Great Powder Shortage of 2020 is upon us

Some one came up with the idea of reloading primers. If it gets bad enough, I bet we could do it! Pry out the anvils and clean them. Use a punch to flatten the cup and clean them. All we need is the formula for the primer compound. Any chemists out there?;):D

Didn’t I see a bolt once that used an electric spark to ignite some kind of primer. Kind of like the igniter on your BBQ. Problem is if you run your hand through your hair the rifle fires. Oops.

I seem to remember that post about him fixing up old primers and I think he used match head material
 
Well, we could all go back to our youth and start shooting air guns again! Where’s my ole Red Ryder?:eek:

He was making "match" primers.
Yeah I know, don't quit my day job. Oh yeah, I don't have one, I've been retired for 15 years!
Tomorrow's payday!!
 
On sale now! Primer firing pin dimple remover press with adapters for large/ small. Anvil reconditioning gizmos sold separately by primer make.
 
Sometimes in the most unlikly places can a deal be had.
I bought a WLR primer lot (2300) from an estate sale.
$50 bucks !! Best I could figure they were at least 20 years
old. I figure he was a hoarder. Either way, those are my go
to's for fire forming and initial powder tests on the low end.
So far no misfires. Sure saves on the BR2's.
 
I'm going to be on a quest to purchase 20,000 -30,000 SRP. I'll eventually get them, and at a price I can afford. Planning ahead , after President Trump wins .

So your telling me that if your local supplier had five pounds of you favorite, you would on buy one because of your altruistic belief that your neighbor might need it, even knowing that in three weeks you won't be able to find it anywhere. Awe, what a guy you are.

I think you are a bit angry because you didn't pay attention to past history, which would have taught you to buy enough, so as not to not run out.
