Reloading primers
« on: January 18, 2017, 04:58:51 PM »
I was shopping for pistol primers today at a local Sportmans Wharehouse and a older gentleman  walked up and started a conversation about how crappy primers are today because lead was banned from the ingredients. He told me all primers manufactured after 1/1/15 could not contain lead? He went on to say the shelf life of the newer primers was only about two years, and also they are known to have a lot of misfires, Winchester being the worst.
He also said the older leaded primers have almost a indefinite shelf life if stored properly.
He seemed very knowledgable on this subject.
Anyone here about this? :dunno:

Maybe he was talking about lead free primers, they make them, I have never used them.  I know that there is a lot of NT (non toxic) brass out there right now used by LEO in indoor ranges.  The NT stuff uses lead free primers and they crimp the primer pockets for whatever reason.  It is a pain to buy 10k cases of .40 brass to find that most of it is NT and crimped!

What about after they have been reloaded ?  Is ammo shelf life going to suffer ????

If this does hold true concerning shelf life, anyone today hoarding ammo and reloading components for the future, missed the boat. Ammo that will no longer go bang when the trigger is pulled.
Call me paranoid, but, this was done fairly in the quiet.
Less accurate ammo, ammo that fails to fire, puts lives at risk.
Big win for the Left in my opinion.
