Small arms primers are very resilient .... I just fire the empty only primed case.
After reading numerous attempts to "kill" primers on this forum and numerous others. I really feel on firing them will make them inert. |

I put all my spent primers and any live primers/cases for disposal in a juice bottle that's got a few inches of water in the bottom.
Don't know if it works come to think of it lol. |

Dented case good primer- Just remove the decapping pin when resizing.
Bad primer- the decapping pin will push it out. or just give them to a buddy who reloads. |

Pop 'em off. That is the ONLY reliable way to deactivate a primer.
Getting them wet will MAYBE keep them from operating, but ONLY when they're wet. The same is true with solvents, oils, etc. I've tried a LOT of variations of these techniques, and none of them permanently kills primers. |

If you reload push them out slowly wearing ear pro and glasses. I've deprimed several hundred cases without issues.
Otherwise put in gun and set them off, easiest solution. |

I'd say fire them and see if you can salvage the brass as well by resizing. i've fired primers only in 5.56 and 12ga and BB guns are louder, I know thats not really a technical assessment of chamber pressure, but... it doesnt move grass infront of the muzzle, so it's not like its gonna damage anything in the brass or the weapon.

I fire dented case rounds. they come out so you cannot tell which were dented. Even if I have to use the forward assist to finish seating I fire them. some people wont fire a round if dented on the neck, but that is not where most dents are. I doubt there is much risk from a primer going off in a garbage truck, unless maybe your neighbor throws away gasoline and oxygen bottles.

Adding to the fire them opinion. Have always done that.

I have a bullet puller for rounds that need to be disposed of - FTF, dented cases, etc. So I can get the bullet and powder out, leaving the primed case. Is there a good method to kill the primer so that it won't go bang in the garbage man's compactor? I've heard of spraying Rem oil or such into the case - is that an effective way of deatcivating the explosive aspect of the primer? If not oil, something else to ruin the primer? I know a primer by itself won't do much but if I have a bunch of primed cases, I still don't want them all going pop if I throw them away and they get crunched by the garbage truck. I've heard you can soak them in motor oil to ruin the primers, but I'd just throw the whole lot into a camp fire. Seriously. We throw primers into fires all the time. |
