“Reversed” Primer 45ACP Brass for Sale

[dh1633pm]

The LPP primers seem to be all different colors. The small primers so far all look the same. I will see if I can upload a picture of one (SPP) when I get home today.

$0.10 primer, that might not be usable.
$0.10 brass, not a great deal. $0.07 more reasonable.

Mixed LPP & SPP is a adding a lot of work, IMO. Not worth the price.


My question, being military, are the primers crimped?

 

[dh1633pm]

I already mentioned, it might not be the best deal. No crimps so far. Sorting is easy since there are so many SPP. I just set the LPP ones aside. About 95 % SPP. Sorry for the delay in posting a picture. Had to fix the pellet stove burner fan. Goofed up the wiring and blew the control board fuse. All fixed. Anyhow below is a picture of some primers.

I hear you about something to do. Our hunting seasons are all but over and I'm always looking for something to do between now and April.

Usually I tumble, sort and process last years brass scores. And me and a buddy get together and smelt all of our last years scrap lead scores. But that still leaves a lot of boring days.

Its get dark early. Cold outside. I guess we just stay in too much during the winter. About end of February we'll start to come out of hibernation as the days get longer. Date night with the wife tonight. In the next couple I will load up the first one hundred and see if they all go bang. I am sure they will. The decapper left just a small mark on them. Don't see why they won't. Not using them for life or death so it doesn't really matter.

I loaded up 200 of these. Winter is very much over. All fired without incident. I learned fast to sort spp from lpp. I only processed lpp to keep my brass easier to sort.

Also a good lesson in economics—shows the relative cost of labor is higher even than primers.

Not to mention few want to risk their brand by using seconds or otherwise already compromised components.

There are also enough folks out there that will accept these used components at a reduced price and accept whatever they get.



Makes the pill of a garbage production run easier to swallow, when you don’t have to scrap everything and instead just sell the problems to some willing buyer.

I just thought it a nice winter project.

I’m distracted every time I see bullets like that —not a taper or roll but a painful crimp. I didn’t even do that when starting out.

I never understood the purchase of common caliber pistol brass.
I can easily find at least 25 pieces of 45 ACP brass every time I go to the range.
I now have at least 2,000 pieces of .40 and I don't even own one.
I have enough 9mm that I don't even make the effort to bend down and pick it up anymore.

Hard to tell who made the primers. There were two colors that were in the majority. So definitely not all the same. One was a very light yellow and the other slightly off reddish.

You have to realize the people that are working at places that make ammunition are many times not firearm enthusiasts or even ever read anything about reloading. They are just doing what they are told, putting components into a machine and going to get someone when it stops. At least when they are lucky, when they are unlucky, they ride in the passenger seat to the hospital…

What in the…who is that? You? No, not you it’d be automated and on video. Seriously, that’s ugly.

 

[jmorris]

No, not me. A friend of mine worked for a manufacturer and would send me photos of damaged employees from time to time. Lots of head scratchers, like that one.

I bet that fellow makes a fist every time he walks by whatever machine he stuck his fingers in that day..,

Lol, thought it was odd, he was messing with his pellet stove in May.

Try another region of the country for a different perspective. Especially more urban areas with only indoor ranges that restrict brass retrieval to only what you shoot.

Try shooting outside in tall grass. I buy loads of 45 acp and 9mm brass. Makes up for losses.

Which is why I posted it. Why is it still a relevant discussion?
Kind of a dead horse or a walking dead thread
