I really appreciate your work on this video and reloading course. I was building this up myself from scratch against these recipes and to see you have it all laid out so well and materials sources included is fantastic. Thank you and safe reloading!
I built a few gigs and fixtures for doing this some years ago and I was able to reload just about a hundred large pistol primers in then I had a problem with my health and I lost a lot of my skills
FYI for those unfamiliar with pyrotechnics: Mixtures of chlorates and sulfur are considered to be unstable in storage and dangerous. In fact, compositions containing chlorate are typically not used in favor of perchlorate which is generally deemed to be safe in critical applications.
Well done. The difference between H48 and redroll kid caps (Armstrong's Mixture) is that ingredient ( but these 2 recipes are corrosivè) . Eph 20 is noncorrosive and has a 100 year shelf life

Marshall has designed the procedures to be safe. Eph 20 is completely inert even when all 4 ingredients are combined. You can mix the compound and whack it with a hammer all day long and it won't go bang. Fill the primer cup and install the anvil and activate it - it still won't go bang. However once allowed to dry safely on the shelf - you treat your homemade primers as you would with any other commercial primers.
Well I have to give you credit, that's a lot of work but to me would be more enjoyable than buying store-bought primers which in most areas are hard to come by nowadays.
Roger that. It's therapeutic. As you go through the repeated motions you learn what it takes to perform that particular task . You invent faster methods then we share our successes and discoveries with others. We grow faster and pull in the same direction as a group. I takes notes and teach others and in turn learn from them.
We've got a spreadsheet in which you can calculate it to the nearest penny but roughly speaking for EPH 20 (the most popular recipe) its about 2.5 to 3 pennies per primer. The time is harder to calculate because it's just like reloading ammo - it depends on which equipment I'm using. I have single stage Lee press where it takes about 2 to 2.5 hours to press 50 9mm's and I also have a fully automated Dillon 1070 S (with an autodrive). It takes less than 10 minutes. Making primers one-at-time with no automation: maybe 2 to 3 minutes per primer. On the other side of the spectrum we have one guy that can make 500 per day (taking his time and not rushing things). He uses metal plates (trays of 100) and makes 100 at a time. It's a good question but it depends on your equipment and your technique(s). Here's a vid: rumble.com/vhrrmf-homemade-primers-mass-production-of-primers.html
That's a good question. It doesn't look like it is (a problem) as we have successfully reloaded primers several times and the work hardening doesn't appear to make the cups brittle. These multiple reloaded cups/primers are of the low pressure variety ('say' mostly pistol 380, 38 spl) but some rifle rounds have been reloaded several times as well. In other words, we can't treat the small primer cup from a 357 mag and a 38 spl as if they undergo the same reloading cycles. The 357's cups get the heck beat out of them - where a 38 spl cup is almost prestine. But here's some strange trivia (spp cups are same thickness as spmag) rumble.com/v2eef9g-sorting-random-small-primers.html I am NOT talking about Large Pistol, Large Rifle, etc. Only spp and srp (small pistol, small rifle). High pressure primers cause the cup material to distort and "flow" and these usually don't survive these high pressures. The anvils do (survive and can be reloaded several times) but not the cups.
Thank you sir! You feel bad ass when you pop off your own ammo ignited by your own primers. Eph 20 is the easiest one to learn. 4 simple ingredients ...and it works. Non-corrosive and strong enough for both pistol and rifle (eph 25 and 26). Meet the guys at mewe. I'll submit my standard invitationnto both groups. It will follow with Hi there.

I think that was solved ... but top of head I don't recall. Tap o càp punch will make percussion caps out of aluminum cans but I don't know the size (specifics). I do know u use eph 0 (zero) . It's remarkably simple with only 3 ingredients to that one. Come join the mewe group and I'll get the answer for u (regarding the size). What size caps do u use?

Here's some info * EPNO #11 percussion caps made with- para-DDNP (from acetaminophen) * improved sealer formula (1 part shellac mixed with 4 parts NC lacquer) no paper disc necessary *28 grains of Grey MZ propellant in the 1858 Remington. this is a stout load.
@@helpmenowmark good information about primer, powders. Etc. For muzzleloader gear. For the most part primers i buy split down 1 side. Not all of m though. Cheaper 1s$$$. I guess plus duds now. Lost a 10point on that 1. Are getting pricey now. Also.
In regards to primer mals, I heard a story of someone who was rechambering the same 2 rounds everyday for a long time in an edc pistol, maybe months maybe years, and the wolf came knocking one day and when he fired those 2 specific rounds, no bang. These rounds were constantly the first 2 that would be fired in succession at any given time. However all the other rounds in the mag performed. It was determined that rechambering everyday for a length of time caused the primers to come undone/damaged somehow. Not sure what the dynamics are but thats my question. Can primers really get destroyed inside of them through constant rechambering? What is happening to them?
I'm guessing here without being able to inspect the bad rounds but even if I was there - those primers are so small. Without special equipment I don't know if I could tell either way. Here's my thinking though. First thought was - Cracks in the compound (Binders): rumble.com/vtj5g9-homemade-primers-how-primers-work.html Then I re-read your question a few times - this may be related. Loose anvils: rumble.com/v2o9szi-unsupported-anvils.html My best guess anyway. Your thoughts?
@@helpmenowmark woow. Awesome videos. The topic is what got me looking into primers and before then I had very little knowledge of how primers do what they do. I learned this: there are many variables. Before, I thought anvils are locked in place by the seating and cannot move and so I didn't think this could be any problem but with the different seats and gaps and material, sounds like it can play a factor in my question. I've seen a couple vids, a few of them animation in which they show a primer compound at the bottom of the cup, a paper sleeve on top and the anvil on top of that for a total of 3 components and also a vid with what looked like just a primer compound that looked like a paper or cloth like sleeve as well for an all in 1 package and then the anvil on top for a total of 2 components. Then I saw another vid of a man whom loaded his own primers and he did 2 primer compounds sandwiched together ( one pink side up and one pink side down ) some gunpowder on top of them and then the anvil for a total of 4 components. His method took up alot of space in the cup and seemed like they would go off no matter what except when wet. As for my question in question here I believe the person it happened to was some kind of security or law enforcement which leads me to believe that this was factory ammo not reloaded. So I saw another video of factory ammo and they took the ball of moist primer compound, scraped it against a plate with holes in it to measure it, took that plate and placed it on top of another plate with primer cups in it and a machine pushed that scraped primer compound perfectly into the cups through them holes. After that it was the anvil I assume and thats all for a total of 2 components. There was something in there about .22 rimfire though which makes me wonder the differences at play between centerfire and rimfire but the kind of profession the person with the bad primers was in must dictate he had centerfire factory rounds. So this good grade ammo got messed up with rechambering so much which leads me to my final thought, your theory of cracked primer compound seems to fit the bill more than anything and my guess is just the sheer shock of the slide dropping full power upon release to chamber the round over and over disrupts and cracks the primer compound. I guess that malfunction can happen wether its just a thin primer compound and anvil type load or like the reloader guy where he takes up all the space in the cup type load gauranteeing a pop. Maybe this happens indiscriminantly between rimfire and centerfire. All in all this gives me a good view of the situation and I am glad I don't rechamber all the time anymore but never knew this could be a problem until I came across the story. Just wish it could be factual rather than theorizing. Thanks for helping me understand, much appreciated. Your links are some really informative content.
@@LexTheLionLocc Join us at the MeWe Group(s). We will show you how to reload primers. My website is www.AardvarkReloading.Com . It's where I store all the data that the members share with me. I've got somewhere between 100 and 150 videos on the subject (I've lost count). To everyone: The following note will contain an invitation to 2 MeWe groups where you can join, ask questions, and obtain all the knowledge you need to reload your own primers. The group is far more knowledgable than myself and we are all willing to share our experiences. Join us if you'd like.
There are dozens of recipes and ways to reload a primer. But our favorite is labeled EPH 20 because it's safe and easy to make AND it's noncorrosive to your barrel. Here's the documentation (free of charge) www.evernote.com/shard/s378/sh/933900fe-a68e-c3a4-f794-11ee6a5cc3fe/CcXOqcGNRKEi7np3x2f6gNmPbffvAA8Byp6LBJDMobztsnlKPXhQwf4QaQ
Yes - that works pretty well. You can also dry/wet tumble them with water and stainless steel pellet pins. Thanks for sharing that tip. Join us on MeWe at: mewe.com/join/primerreloading and/or mewe.com/join/primerreloadingforbeginners YT isn't very friendly to us 2A types and I expect to be cancelled any day now.

Don't know I'd trust myself doing this or trust the realiblity but good info thanks
Marshall has designed the procedures to be safe. Eph 20 is completely inert even when all 4 ingredients are combined. You can mix the compound and whack it with a hammer all day long and it won't go bang. Fill the primer cup and install the anvil and activate it - it still won't go bang. However once allowed to dry safely on the shelf - you treat your homemade primers as you would with any other commercial primers.
Any guess what your cost per primer is when making say 1000 ?
Have you ever calculated your total average time per primer?? Thanks
is there anyways to start with nothing? i cant get primer caps because they are all sold out and i think making my own primer caps would be cheaper
Where's the H48 recipe and the links to the chemicals needed? There's no 'more' link on your website that I can see??

After that it was the anvil I assume and thats all for a total of 2 components.
There was something in there about .22 rimfire though which makes me wonder the differences at play between centerfire and rimfire but the kind of profession the person with the bad primers was in must dictate he had centerfire factory rounds. So this good grade ammo got messed up with rechambering so much which leads me to my final thought, your theory of cracked primer compound seems to fit the bill more than anything and my guess is just the sheer shock of the slide dropping full power upon release to chamber the round over and over disrupts and cracks the primer compound. I guess that malfunction can happen wether its just a thin primer compound and anvil type load or like the reloader guy where he takes up all the space in the cup type load gauranteeing a pop. Maybe this happens indiscriminantly between rimfire and centerfire.
All in all this gives me a good view of the situation and I am glad I don't rechamber all the time anymore but never knew this could be a problem until I came across the story. Just wish it could be factual rather than theorizing. Thanks for helping me understand, much appreciated. Your links are some really informative content.
@@LexTheLionLocc Join us at the MeWe Group(s). We will show you how to reload primers. My website is www.AardvarkReloading.Com . It's where I store all the data that the members share with me. I've got somewhere between 100 and 150 videos on the subject (I've lost count).
To everyone: The following note will contain an invitation to 2 MeWe groups where you can join, ask questions, and obtain all the knowledge you need to reload your own primers. The group is far more knowledgable than myself and we are all willing to share our experiences. Join us if you'd like.

There are dozens of recipes and ways to reload a primer. But our favorite is labeled EPH 20 because it's safe and easy to make AND it's noncorrosive to your barrel.
Here's the documentation (free of charge)

Mix red mercury?!
@@user-sf9rn9yx5f red mercury is s hoax
thanks
I put my spent primers in a clear plastic mayo jar and shake the hell out of it and then separate the one's that have come apart.
Yes - that works pretty well. You can also dry/wet tumble them with water and stainless steel pellet pins. Thanks for sharing that tip. Join us on MeWe at:

YT isn't very friendly to us 2A types and I expect to be cancelled any day now.
I wonder if reloaded primers have ever passed fbi evidence finds and how they deal with double dimples

That's an easy way to learn how to reload primers but corrosive to your barrel. It's H48. EPH 20 ìs noncorrosive.
