cap compound

"The best guess I've heard is that it's powdered gelatin, intended to be a binder (and not a very good binder at that)."

they have a new one that has a liquid binder they made for the primer making die https://recoilstore.com/prime-all-center-fire/

my muzzle loading buddy hasn't tried it yet...he is my only source of info...except y'all!!!

thanks again I am learning tons

Something I did not mention on my previous posts is that I always place a large piece of paper under my percussion cap loading area to catch any spillage of the percussion compound, for salvage of the compound, but more importantly, to prevent the sensitive stuff from possibly causing a fire or worse when I might be working with other chemicals or gun powder on the same bench. This stuff is to be taken seriously as it is Impact Sensitive

It is. you should try it and its legal. They mail it right to you. Probably because it is such a small quantity.

I did today, with LAGS, much easier and also challenging than I thought.

That was your first time seeing how the primers are made.
The making of them gets easier as you set up your operation in your space.
But too me.
It is well worth investing in the stuff to make your own primers.
That compound is the FH 42 mix.
Be sure to tell others how it works
