Albeit not real well, picture shows primer compound residue in several compartments of ammo box.
Have you ever experienced this? Would it concern you?
I'm thinking as long as they go boom, who cares. Right?
Not that it's easy to do, but beyond the residue, the primers in the primed cases don't reveal any damage. Unfortunately I didn't examine each one as I removed from box. Rather, only after all were removed and I saw the residue so I can't say which case left which residue.
This results from yesterday's breaking down 45acp rounds using an inertia hammer. One or two whacks is all I used and I doubt my hammer blows are much different than anyone else's. (I of course have no way to confirm that but I've never broken my hammer after 5 years.)
I guess also there is some residue in the powder I salvaged from each case. It likely sifts to the bottom of container and isn't actually mixed with powder (he speculates hopefully).
