Repriming an original copper 38 rimfire case

[ndnchf]

I just conducted an experiment to see if it was possible to successfully reprime an original copper 38 rimfire cartridge case using the Prime-All kit available online. This is something that is not realistic to do for regular shooting. It was just to see if it was possible. I do not advocate shooting 100+ year old copper cartridges. This was a once fired, or attempted to fire empty case I had. Take a look and give me your thoughts - thanks

I think I should not read any more of your posts.
I’m starting to think about things and having ideas that could end up very time consuming and expensive.

Good to see you some one tinkering with these guns and cases.

Lol - momma always said I was a bad influence :-)

I want one but do not need one. Which side will win.

Life would be very dull if we only had things we need.

I think you are a bad influence on us all. Nice going though. But I can agree, actually loading up a ancient fired copper case is a bad idea. The old mercuric primer compounds they used way back then would contaminate and make the metal brittle and very prone to failure. But I liked your video on it.
