Reloading a primer

[Jim]

There have been several discussions on reloading primers in the event of a SHTF situation. I submit, for your entertainment, a pictorial essay on reloading primers (http://fgsp.wordpress.com/2010/12/16/reloading-a-primer/).

I did the very same thing when the Clinton primer scare happened.
Only I used two caps. One cap will work most of the time but two caps will work every time.
The only problem using two caps, is when you seat the anvail, you have to be very, very careful.

I mentioned all of that in the essay.

Reminds me of when I was a kid reloading 32 S&W rounds with a match head for the primer instead of a cap, a pinch of Red Dot powder and a OO Buckshot.

I don't recommend it, but when you're twelve you don't always make the best decisions.
