    What do they go for per K?. I'm never buying caps or primers again..reloading them is just part of my process now. SINOXID runs me $5.90 USD per K.

    I make it. I'm a guerilla chemist. I've been digressing into primers on my DIY propellant thread...but that is my game..my problem is I run out of bullets too quickly. Wir machen alles.
    Join our MeWe Primer reloading forum via Arddvark reloading website if you want more info. I'm trying to sort out a simpler version of FA-70 for our members, side project. EPH-20 is quite popular if you just want order by mail ingredients. But I love SINOXID...it works with all primersBoxers, Berdans, 209s, caps of all sorts. I have a drop weight tester and it ignites slightly less impact than commercial primers, which I use for reference/calibration

    PS..people think you have to insert the anvil back into the cup precisely after compound is added; why not use case priming step to do this? That's what I do...put that anvil square in the cup and press home, centers it as it seats. I see so many people get obsessed with dimensions and seating depth..totally anal. Focus on what works. If the compound/recipe has nominal sensitivity and brisance you can have somewhat looser tolerance than factory specs. For Berdans and Percussion caps ..much simpler. Seat Berdans slightly under flush ..
