I put them in a 5 gallon bucket beside my bench. I don't really know what I'm gonna do when its full but I am pretty sure I have got a while to figure it out.

I throw them in with scrap brass. Do you see how much that can weighs? That is weight that goes towards your scrap brass payment. Doing anything else with them is pretty much nonsense.

I've been working on a process using lead styphnate crystals that I grow to re-load the primers, but it's very dangerous!

Got enough crap from reloading I don't feel the need to keep garbage.
Besides, there is all kind of crap all over this stuff and don't like to keep it nearby. |

What do you do with your spent primers? Throw them in the trash? Recycle with the scrap brass? Or keep them for some reason? I ask because I was going thru some of my late dads stuff, and I found a 50 cal ammo can almost full and 2 other smaller containers full. Yes. |

I have a 1lb Hodgdon powder jug with a hole drilled into the top and the spent primer tube on my LnL AP press is stuck into the top of that powder jug so every primer I decap goes into the jug which is sealed tight, after about a year of reloading(since I added the Jug) it's a little over half full which is a bunch(2lbs 4oz) of spent primers.

I have a small tray that I have next to my my press that my primers fall into , Most of the time I end up hitting it sending them flying everywhere . The few times its not self emptied , I dump into by box of bad brass.

I know many of trap shooters that add a spent 209 primer to get a better crimp with 7/8 oz loads. I am sure you could shoot them. For anyone who tries this get lots of photos...

Those plastic 40# cat litter pails with the top make great scrap brass containers. All my brass scrap, cases and primers, goes in. When they are full, the scrap metal dealer gets a visit.

I usually throw mine in a 3 liter soda bottle and sell them when I sell my scrap,, about every 5 yrs. Right now I have 3 filled up and working on the 4th. |

Never hurts to save them. In a pinch, they can be reloaded and used again.

Around here, fella drop magnet into material, and catch a primer due to nickel coating or anvil,,, they dink the price for "dirty". This load may get melted with torch and roughly poured into crude brass ingot,, be nice to know somebody with furnace that do it for fun.. Even the brass cases got dinked last vist... one place made a comment, and I looked at fella and asked "what if I made them look like machine shop debris ??".... he got a mad look on his face. |

It seems half of mine end up on the floor, the rest the trash. I wish the Rockchucker had a better way to hold popped spent primers.

That's one reason why I did most of my sizing/depriming on a Lee Reloader press... it catches virtually all of the primers, and the go through the body, through a hole in my bench, into a jug all on their own. The other reason was because being a C-press, getting the old cartridge out and the new one in is fast. The only reason I changed was when I bought a Dillon.

A piece of folded cardboard helps to prevent a primer from popping out the primer seater slot 
I thought one of the green presses had a similar drop setup? |

I wonder if you cleaned them up with soap and water if you could use them in a tumbler for larger rounds like .40 .45 and larger rifle rounds, etc?

I am not sure what the valence of lead is, compounded in the lead styphthanate ash left-over, but it might be injurous to your health. A large trove of spent primers could represent an insult to the environment. I would take the 50BMG ammo can full to a hazard waste disposal campaign somewhere and let them dispose of it.
