I've reloaded thousands of rounds and have never done this. I've shot in rainy and snowy conditions and have never had a fail shot. What's the purpose of doing this.
@@DummyRound- so you were using primers that had already been seated then removed and reseated in different brass? Wow, not heard of that. I used pulled bullets but not “pulled” primers.
@@DummyRound I’ve hot loaded 308 and stretched primer pockets and primers would fall out. Would this worked to fix that problem or would the primers blown when fired regardless?
I'm guessing they might still go flying out if the pockets are that far out of spec. But, if you really needed one last firing or some apocalypse ammo then it might work for that. Really depends how loose they are and if you want to risk spent primers getting caught up in your action and locking it up.
And why are you doing this without explaining why? I hope it's because you are going shooting underwater. This is only needed for the most adverse conditions in nature. Unless it is some match grading system for a competitive situation that unless you're the greatest marksman in the world isn't going to matter much either.
@Dizzle The I live in Southern Texas and have been hand loading for years and it's never deemed a necessity. I shoot many rifles pistols and shoot for hunting and the range. If you are have moisture issues that you feel this will help, then you have other issues nothing to do with moisture.
@The Turkey's Opinion I wouldn't do it for the same reason that I wouldn't repaint my car every chance I get. It's totally unnecessary unless you are under totally adverse conditions. Just color code if you feel it's needed with a marker or something of that sort. Longevity of the ammunition is not affected unless you might be storing for decades. Your shooting will not be affected by a coating of a primer at I am 100% sure at 99.9999 % of any shooters ability. Your time your money and your hobbie or greatest idol. But Totally unnecessary. So paint on my friend.
I'm sealing these because the primers were from pulled ammo and went in very loosely, so I'm sealing them so they don't fall out. Nothing to do with weather, though I might do it for some long term storage. Load identification could be another use.
Well maybe you've never been robbed before, or had a car accident. Does that mean no one else can be robbed or have a car accident moron? If all ammo was magically waterproof forever under any condition then the US military wouldn't demand that all of their rifle ammo be factory sealed at the primer and case neck. All law enforcement agencies require the same for their pistol rounds. You should go watch Paul Harrell's recent video about what happens when you leave ammo in a car for a year. 2 different types of factory ammo had primer failures. It's real and it does happen.
This is actually a second pass on them. The sealant is not very viscous, so it's hard to get into the small crease between the primer and the pocket. It thins out quite a bit once it dries, though.
I use blue loctite. One poke and it seals up and it’s a lot less messy.
Good thinking🇺🇸👍👊

Correct, they came from demilitarized/pulled ammo, then went into my once fired range brass👍

IDK where you live, But this is a MUST in high humidity areas if you want your bullet to fire at all.

the first one youre doing in the clip is way too much though…?
