About the Reloading of Primers:

In 1828, Casimir Lefaucheaux, a French gunsmith, invented the first pinfire priming. The next primer was the Boxer primer, which was created in 1866 almost at the same time as the Berdan primer. Once the priming has been applied, the firing procedure can start. Reloads World carries the shooting primers, musket caps, percussion caps, smokeless powder, and black powder that a hunter could require to make their own ammunition. You can choose from recognized manufacturers like Winchester, Remington, Federal, and more. Build your ammunition using a high-quality powder, black powder, and any additional priming you desire.

Primers FAQs:

What is a primer?

A pistol or rifle’s primer is the part responsible for creating the spark that sets off the gun powder. As a result, combustion occurs, and the ammunition is expelled from the rifle barrel. The primer is like a little volcano or rocket engine that ignites slag to combine with the gunpowder in the cartridge, according to some experts.

What are the major primer manufacturers in the U.S.?

The major manufacturers of primers in the U.S include:

Winchester Ammunition, based in Oxford, Mississippi, and East Alton, Illinois
Cascade Cartridge Inc., also known under the abbreviation CCI, based in Lewiston, Idaho
Federal Premium Ammunition, based in Anoka, Minnesota
Remington Ammunition, based in Lonoke, Arkansas

Primers are supplied by these leading businesses to both the military and law enforcement.

What are the primers manufactured in the U.S. made of?

U.S.-produced primers are free of mercury and other compounds that might cause corrosion. Primers are made from antimony sulfide, lead styphnate, and barium nitrate.

What are the most common sizes for primers?

Primer sizes vary by manufacturer, but the most common ones are:

Small rifle primers, which are approximately .120 inches tall and .175 inches in diameter

How do I reload my primer?

To reload your primer:

Take an unused primer
Place your die to force the back of your brass case out
Align the red ring with the bottom of the shell
Insert a tiny tube into the opening of your case and press down on your reloading tool, then load the primer
Once the primer is loaded, add gun powder

What should I consider when reloading and handling primers?

When reloading and handling primers, consider the following:

If reloading is problematic with your hand tools, press or other tools, try a different brand
Test different primer makes to find the one that offers you the most accuracy
Avoid touching the primers with your hands, as oils can affect assembly
Use safety glasses to protect your eyes from possible explosion and injury
