Homemade Primers - How Primers Work 

You are very kind sir. Thank you.

Thanks Partner. Haven't seen you in a while. All Ok I hope.

I think there is a difference but the differences vary with the manufacturer(s). Not only are the compounds a lil more powerful (in magnum) but the cups are a bit thicker (I think it's the primer cup/the material is a bit harder but I don't have any data top-of-head to prove that one.) On www.AardvarkReloading.Com (page 4/if memory serves) if you scroll down - the best article I've read is called Sniper's Hide "A primer on primers". Oh and on page 19 (you are going to love this). Also on AardvarkReloading.Com is the link to Homemade Primer Course by Marshall Thompson PhD (chemistry). www.aardvarkreloading.com/resources/Homemade%20Primer%20Course%202021-06-01.pdf We discuss actual primer compounds at the MeWe groups listed below. Come see me/us and make your own. Original group mewe.com/join/primerreloading Beginners group mewe.com/join/primerreloadingforbeginners It's vital that you ask questions to stir up conversations on the topics you are curious about. The recipe I (actually all of the guys) focus on is Eph 20. This primer shortage is for the birds - make your own.

Thank you for the kind comments. Keep going to Jump Start 4. I think joining MeWe is mission critical and if you supply the required elbow grease - you will have solved your own primer shortage. I've got more vids on the way but covered up with support of the labs, of course the holidays, etc, etc. We will work with you and answer all of your questions.

Hi, there! Jump Start 1 - I'm trying to get you going! rumble.com/vjdy5h-reloading-primers-for-beginners-jump-start-1.html AardvarkReloading.com and MeWe’s Primer Reloading and Primer Reloading for Beginners Chat Forums go hand-in-hand. Please go to one of the chat rooms and let us know what information you need to get started reloading your own primers and our group of members will do their best to provide it. We are very interested in your success in this endeavor. There will be no ridicule of any questions you ask no matter your experience level. We grow by utilizing your background and experience in your various professions - so please be willing to share. The MeWe chat forums consist of the best group of guys on the internet in primer reloading and other skills and you're now a part of it. If you find the Primer Reloading group chat too technical, try: mewe.com/join/primerreloadingforbeginners You will be welcomed in both! !

Some of our recipes Are commercial recipes. Eps5 IS Cci's formula but I think ours are much stronger because we simply pack more of the compound in the cup. The eph 20 is noncorrosive. Smiley face. The glass I sell is 325 mesh so it behaves like a polishing agent. Nobody has ever reported barrel wear in the 10 or so years that I have been doing this. 22LRs ... use eph 0 (not eph 20) for these. Yep, all you have to do is tell Marshall, "It can't be done." . This is a slower reload because you do have to knock out the dent . Cleaning the 22lr is the same as your reloading brass. I'll send you the standard invite to the MeWe groups. We will answer any questions as they pop up. We help you to learn - then you help us teach the next guy... and so on.... Free of charge.... just give Marshall credit (and a text thanking him never hurts). He is an amazing guy. Oh he does Berdan primers too, and percussion caps and shot shell 209s. Amazing! Stay tuned

We use them quite a bit. But it takes one of our chemists to understand and interpret them for me.

I think I remember reading something about that particular primer in one of these two articles (the top two). Of course you should use the proper primer but during this primer shortage I understand the need for exploring substitutions. It will work functionally (but I have not personally tried it). It won't be as safe as using the military primer #41. My concerns are over avoiding slam-fires with the AR 15 and it's free-floating firing pin. www.evernote.com/shard/s378/sh/4f064c5a-c649-487f-74fb-61da0a11ddd4/VkOYg6X0LgaCn9X4u2O37Ve3JM8_PfXTJto3RgDeXaJkL8Dznhosyr9JDg Be safe!

@@helpmenowmark thanks for replying appreciate

@@helpmenowmark ill go and test them and see what happens stay safe

Good question. The material still needs a pinch point. That being the area under the rim or between the point of the anvil and the primer cup. It needs compression to gain friction.

@@helpmenowmark Thank you Mark.......I understand

Mark, have you ever tried firing a loaded round that has no anvil in the primer ? I think it would be a good test.

@@okeechobeejoe2868 Honestly - I have not tried that test. I still think there wouldn't be enough compression to "get the job done". I've inadvertantly installed the anvil in crooked/almost sideways and "no bang".

Agree - but still corrosive and red phos (or worse white) - are Definitely advanced chemist materials

first primers were an mix of 1 sulfur 2 parts carbon and 3 parts potassiumchlorate. Simpl alternativ

You guys are so kind. Thank you. See us on mewe. I'm still learning from the group every day

I agree. I try out different techniques with various videos to see if the technique adds value. This one didn't and I dropped it after only one attempt. But hey - thank you for the constructive criticism . I value your input.
