BTDT. Even in good times, I hate to lose 1 primer.

 

[thegatman]

I hate when I drop even one of these.

 

[Sawdust1]

Just did that myself a little while ago

 

[Seedy Character]

They primers on my bench cost from $1.23/100 - $3.48/100

If I drop 1, I look for it, and look and look and look.

Wif has a fit, when the vacuum picks up a primer or shot pellet. I don't see the problem.

I found 3 large primers when I swept. They are either Fed LP or Fed, CCI LR or CCI milspec LR. Loaded them into some 20K psi 30-06 cast loads. A couple years ago I would have chucked them as "unknown".

I spent 30 minutes literally combing the carpet looking for one WSR a few weeks ago.

Congratulations!!!!

How do you know there isn’t a live one in the second half of them? Hmmm?

 

[tightgroup tiger]

I search my bucket of dead primers now and then. Sometimes I find one and its like I found a little piece of gold among the pyrite.
I'm there with all of you. My primers were bought at 2.2 cents each and everything stops until I find the one I dropped.
I don't like to waste anything, never have.

 

[rfwobbly]

Hey ! That looks like the one I dropped last night !

It's not at my house. Must have rolled from Georgia to Texas overnight.

 

[FROGO207]

I make an effort to empty my used primer tray before removing live primers. And I otherwise prime off the press. You can find me on my hands and knees looking for that dropped primer on the floor though. In the reloading room I have a 30 minute rule before I quit looking LOL.

A single primer doesn't cost much but I have found myself on my knees with my MagLight for probably a half hour looking for a small pistol primer I dropped...

 

[wtf808]

needle in a haystack!! congrats!

Man, will pre-covid primer prices ever return or what? 70-80 per 1000 with a limit of 1000 (SPP). Ugh. While they seem to be more available now, I dont see prices or limits changing.

 

[CoalCrackerAl]

When i pull the bin out under my bench. I always find some primers and bullets.

 

[ericuda]

Lol, thx for the . Reminds me of folks trying to pick up a quarter glued to the sidewalk.

 

[bersaguy]

Had that happen the other night, I had 49 rounds of 9mm all same headstamp, with federal primers. I dropped one primer under the bench, the only other primers I have are winchester. The OCD in me couldn't let there be one brass primer in a box with all nickel plated primers......
Completely cleaned out the area under my bench....but I found my primer

 

[kcofohio]

I blame the primer and bullet makers. They're sold in multiples of 100. So lose one or the other, there is an imbalance in the universe.

I put a low knap rug down so they don't bounce all over the place

 

[dartor]

A primer flip tray could have probably shortened your endeavor.

lol Well, truth be told I have been known to mix head-stamps, primers, and powder lots in my boxes of playtime ammo. Long as they all go boom and hit a disposable pie pan at thirty paces (give or take) I’m happy.

 

[Demi-human]

I found it.

It isn’t the cost of the primer, it’s the even number of rounds in the ammunition box…

A trick I learned is to lay the mag light flat on the floor when looking for screws or primers.
The shadow from a small object is easier to spot than the object and it illuminates edges and crevices.

This is sad boys, sad because we all done this lol.
