I wonder If you could make a bigger punch and make your LR primer cups into 5.5mm .217 berdans no need for anvil. I might just have to try this

http://fgsp.wordpress.com/2010/12/16/reloading-a-primer/ primers are the most dangerous and difficult part to make, less the brass as that requires a lot of overhead expenses for the machinery. you can make them but those who have tried find their reliability to be inconsistent. |

Yes Iknow the link doesn't work; it did on the now locked 9mm-.40cal bullets a week ago. Any body know how to find it again? I think the part about carefully seating the primer with the caps in place would work for practice ammo. I will unlock that thread tonight. OP and I have worked out the problem. |

May be good to know in SHTF, but seriously - I have to draw the frugal line somewhere, and it's way before making primers. Maybe so. But most reloaders don't cast their own bullets either. And I have a lot of berdan brass and am getting damn tired of waiting for Powder valley or Graf's to get some more in stock. |

And I have a lot of berdan brass and am getting damn tired of waiting for Powder valley or Graf's to get some more in stock. Until ScareBama I never hoarded components. During ScareBama and I guess we"re not through it yet.... Powder wasn't that hard to find, bullets got a little scarce. Primers were of course in short supply and sometimes you just couldn't get them. I now have a suit cased size Pelican case full of primers. I don't think one could hoard enough. I wait for sales and buy in bulk, have some 40,000 inventoried and 100,000 would be nice to have. Stored in air and water tight Pelican case with incadescant packs they should keep forever. Also, if your having problems. MidwayUSA has a lot of instock primers. |
along with brass, bullets and powder.
