Let us know how they shoot.Picked these up yesterday for $20 each. Over 50 years old!
I shoot about as much .45 as I do 9mm so I was happy to find these.

It depends how hard it is to manufacture more primers and the cost.The complication is whether and when component manufacturers invest in increased production capacity. If Trump loses, they probably will. If he wins, they probably won't. Impossible to know how it works out, but increased production is a natural consequence of an expectation for sustained, unfulfilled demand in a capitalist economy.
Do you feel this might significantly increase the likelihood of piercing the primer?I was listening to a reloaders network podcast a week or so back and they were talking about a company that does sell the compound to reuse primers. It comes in four parts so not hazardous and able to ship. I can’t remember the name of the company right now but if I get time I’ll try to look into it. We’re gonna start seeing used primers up for sale soon if this keeps it up.
Does one have to remove the anvil, press out the firing pin indent, install new compound while wet, reinstall the anvil, wait for it to dry then load the primer into ammo?I was listening to a reloaders network podcast a week or so back and they were talking about a company that does sell the compound to reuse primers.

Dark days my friends....when we are forced to raid the museum's for primers ;-)
I’ve invented a machine for reloading primers..the cost will be....I've been wondering how long it will take before people raid the dud cans for all the rounds with unstruck primers that were discarded for whatever reasons other than actually being a dud.
I guess it could be done, I just looked at my used primers and they are not deformed like I thought they would be.I was listening to a reloaders network podcast a week or so back and they were talking about a company that does sell the compound to reuse primers.

This. I’ve shot some CCI SP primers from the 70s without any issues.They should be fine. Everything I’ve read on the subject of old primers says as long as they weren’t stored in horrible conditions they should be good. The previous owner has been at this a looooong time.
Lol, but no.We’re gonna start seeing used primers up for sale soon if this keeps it up.
The MSDSs for those baggies would be interesting.Prime-All Repriming Compound

... The only equivalent I've seen to that is some guys reloading .223 bullets using 22LR cases as bullet jackets.
Here's a better way to use the .22LRs with no extra swaging/machining required...
I just realized - since each component is packaged separately, allowing for exposure to only a single component, the vendor would be required to provide a separate MSDS for each packet, with an indication as to what packet each MSDS applies to.The MSDSs for those baggies would be interesting.

I got that WSP, buck a cap...wussup?
This is the third great primer shortage, though indications are this is the most severe of the three since it has extended to shortages on ammo.I doubt that the primer manufacturers are going to cease production entirely, so we'll see this shortage through.
Bro, those primers you sold me are great.View attachment 391075
