    I reused primers as well. Pulled down a hundred plus 308 Winchester and used the primers for hunting and practice. The deer was upset about how cheap I was...but tasty none the less.
    Oh great, another thread that makes me spend money.

    Wet primers will dry only a little slower if left in the cases. Test fire a couple while drying to determine if ready. Saves two operations. I also discovered the fired primers more easily deprime then the live ones. It seems firing helps break the bond caused by moisture.
