Brilliant. Many thanks.

I put some 357 brass primed into a wet tumbler because I didn't know their origin

[@ggwoutdoors2a]

I always wondered if it really worked or not, Thanks Roger. I have some primed cases that have been in WD-40 for about 3 years now... I think they're safe now. Great demo.

Would this also work for .22LR primers? Also, would soaking a lot in a container with WD-40 or carburetor cleaner do the same thing?

[@roger_revo]

I don't know. I have never tried it.

[@TheTrueDoomSlayer]

22lr are rim fire...they don't have primers bud. The entire back of the case is a primer.

Excuse me, friend. Can you tell me what ingredients are used in the primer?

[@roger_revo]

I don't know.

Great video and technique. I only have 1 objection. You didn't want to waste the WD-40 after soaking the primers, so you poured it back into the product container. I don't blame you for not wanting the waste. But I would be afraid the WD-40 that was in the brass case might now be chemically contaminated with whatever the primer element is made of. Emptying the case into the original WD-40 product container would then contaminate all of its contents too. I think I'd rather waste a comparatively tiny amount than ruin the whole can of it.
Otherwise, a great demonstration. Thank you!

Thanks for posting this! Found a random live round in the desert and have removed the powder, now I can deactivate the primer and gift it to him looking cool, but completely inert. 👍👍
