How Centerfire Primers Are Made: Quick Video

I always wondered how these things were made.

Too sensitive for machine work.

Thus they are made by hand in batches of 1,000.

That explains the scarcity.

    A few books I would recommend on the subject of Ammosmithing (Ammosmith is also the name of an excellent channel on youtube).

    2 are free for DL from google though at least one somebody is selling a reprint.

    The first is “Cartridge Manufacture; A Treatise Covering the Manufacture of Rifle Cartridge Cases, Bullets, Powders, Primers and Cartridge Clips, and the Designing and Making of the Tools Used in Connection with the Production of Cartridge Cases and Bullets.”
    https://books.google.com/books?id=GNAqAAAAYAAJ

    The 2nd is “A Practical Treatise on the Fabrication of Matches, Gun Cotton, Colored Fires and Fulminating Powders.”
    https://books.google.com/books?id=1RoNAAAAYAAJ&

    A third is “The Handloader’s Manual of Cartridge Conversions.”
    It is available all over the place, but I would look for a hardback copy rather than than paperback. Might be able to find a pdf floating around in the usual places if very diligent. Worth having a hard copy or few fer sure.
    https://www.amazon.com/Handloaders-Manual-Cartridge-Conversions/dp/1616082380

    And a forth free for DL that might come in handy is “Punches and Dies: Layout, Construction and Use.”
    https://books.google.com/books?id=_NxKAQAAMAAJ

    Also it is always a good idea to check the list of books on the google page for the book. Their is lots of interesting books there too that may be free for DL.

      Thank you for this.

      I just got into reloading and It has changed my understanding of marksmanship and armscraft.

      I will make this a separate post.
