Look in the grooves of your shoes.

Don't laugh too much.... I used to load outside on the patio. One day I dropped one and I didn't want some kid to pick it up and get hurt, so I looked and looked. It WAS stuck on the bottom of my sneaker!!!

You woulda known if you had sucked it up in the vacuum

You like that nice little pop they make after all that noise getting sucked up?

Primer Goblins. Just like Brass Goblins at the range.

I am gettin' an education here and now I tell ya. The easiest way to find it is to drop a hammer, Anvil or such on the floor accidentally and "BOOM" primer found, Next time get some of them sticky type mouse catchers, about 25, and put them around the floor. That'll get em.

Flood the garage a couple of inches deep with water...that should deactivate it

Don't worry, it's probably hiding in the corner behind the spilled powder that always seems to be present. I've lost more primers through spillage over the years than I care to think about with the shortage today, never had a problem, never had one go off. Like one of the previous posters said, have a cold one and don't worry about it.

I have to agree with the advocates of spilling more primers to find the original.

Lost a CCI LR? Spill some W209 shotgun primers, and I guarantee you'll find the CCI. But not the last W209.

Timely but funny too! I have a large wooden drawer under my reloading bench where I store my primer(the stash is getting low), I alway dump my primers in the tray over the drawer so that if I spill any they are coralled in the drawer. Well last Tuesday I went to dump some SRP into the tray and spilled a few. Now I found all but one just like you and like you I hunted and hunted some more. I finally took everything out of that drawer and no primer. After going back over almost everything in the drawer again, I had about given up and noticed a CCI 22 LR slip top box(with some empty 357 cases) with the top slide about an 1/4" open. Wouldn't you know there was that missing SRP! Now I am a sticker for loading in even amounts so I load in 20's, 50's or 100's so that odd primer would have thrown my even numbers out of wack, not to speak about that they cost me $5.47 / 100 ...it was the only ones I have found. CCI BR SRP!

Shrinkmd: You could have a crane dangle a 5,000 volt electro-magnet over your garage then just look up!!! I just hope that primer didn't roll under a 5 gallon can of gas!! All in all I'd be happy only misseing one. Youshould have been here when 85 primers in the tube of my Dillon 650xl all went off, I had some work to do on my ceiling drywall, But I leaned a good lesson, Thank God for safety glasses!! Load Safe, Have fun, Dave.
