Primers themselves are hazmat why wouldn't a prime case be? I never understood thatI don’t think primed cases are considered hazmat.

A paper mill I worked at had lots of electric lift trucks. When a battery failed and needed to go out for repair or rebuild, it was hazardous waste. Once repaired, it was no longer considered hazardous waste.Primers themselves are hazmat why wouldn't a prime case be? I never understood that
In their original packaging, primers are far less dangerous than a case of rimfire .22LR.Primers themselves are hazmat why wouldn't a prime case be? I never understood that

Nine times out of ten, in my limited set of observational recollections, regulations and policies like HazMat or requiring an insured carrier - things that generate "useless fees" - are based on previous lawsuits. Something happens and somebody is "damaged" so they sue, win and the loser pays. The people in the loser's business, or related businesses, demand protection and that's when their lawyers and engineers go to work, looking for ways to mitigate risk by shifting responsibility, legally, or creating a new loser to pay off the next claimant. That's where insurers come into the mix and they prefer to settle out of court, then raise rates on everyone, spreading out the risk, versus fight it out in front of a sympathetic jury and create more risk for themselves by allowing new lawsuits based on, "what they knew and when they knew it," to pop up. We can all complain about the costs of "rip-off fees" but if we're the damaged party, suddenly it all makes perfect sense.You're dealing with government regulations. That's why.
Please don't give them any ideas.Primers themselves are hazmat why wouldn't a prime case be? I never understood that

Pay the fees, play it safe, don't be stupid by taking on more risk than you can afford. Pretty simple.
Perhaps no regs are as convoluted as environmental. It’s kinda fun though to see the unintended consequences—after some flash flooding locally some large trees were blocking a road nearby.A paper mill I worked at had lots of electric lift trucks. When a battery failed and needed to go out for repair or rebuild, it was hazardous waste. Once repaired, it was no longer considered hazardous waste.
That was 30 years ago and regs may have changed. But kind of strange at the time.
I never understood that lol. I wish it wasn't lolPlease don't give them any ideas.
becuse of government contracts to sell surplus pulled cases to the public. Same with .50 BMG AP incendiary pull bullets, You can only buy those AP bullets from the government. So they bent the law in able to sell pulled primed ammo case to the public. And we benefitPlease don't give them any ideas.
Seriously guys. Get a broom and a dustpan and a foxtail for the reloading room. A vacuum is an injury waiting to happen.
At the very least get a shop vac so the impeller is on the safe side of the collector, and use a filter over the impeller to catch explosive dust. Change that filter and check the seal often. That’s still not safe but a little less hazardous.
Having a vac that puts everything it picks up through an impeller and blows it past a hot sparky motor in your reloading area is not the best decision you ever made.
There is a reason explosion proof vacs cost $2000-$10,000
It is a matter of density. With primed cases each primer has its own protective carrier.Primers themselves are hazmat why wouldn't a prime case be? I never understood that

With a case of bulk primers it is conceivable how a worst case impact could result in a chain fire that set off the lot.
With primed cases you could smack the box with a hammer and maybe set off one or two.
Everyone should shag carpet their Reloading room!!!
grease your carpet!Not where I live.
We have very low humidity and carpet means static. Not sure if a static discharge can set of a pound of H110 but I don't want to try that experiment.
I sent them with no issue as well as loaded ammoI don’t think primed cases are considered hazmat.
CFULL- I do the same with both primers and powder (one in front of me at a time) however when I look for a dropped new primer and find two, or find one a few days later, I do not know which variety it is.
Is there a difference between cheap and thrifty? Because I prefer to think of myself as thrifty. I hunt for primers until I see the Pixie tracks leading away from where it fell, then I give up and say a little curse to my own clumsiness. I really try hard not to drop them to begin with but, it happens. I'm not perfect, thank goodness. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to be one of those perfect people in the world.DOG HELP That's the way to start your day LOL. Sorry for the additional thread drift there.
Being medically retired I have the time to seek out the occasional errant primer. Oh and did I mention that I am CHEAP to a fault.
YES you mentioned your Cheapness! several times!DOG HELP That's the way to start your day LOL. Sorry for the additional thread drift there.

His official name is "AJN Fired Up" and his kennel name was "Fire". Can you imagine calling for "Fire:" in the backyard to get the dog to come? Hence, we called him "Fireball" when he came to us.
