Loose primers
Maybe I am the only one with this problem, but here it is. I will occasionally end up with leftover primers, and some bonehead threw away the box, or lost it. If anyone has a good way to store them, I would be interested to read about it. I was thinking of labeling some organizer drawers for the purpose, but I am not sure if that is a good idea or not.

A 35mm film canister would be perfect, if you just happen to have one laying around for the last 15 years.

Re: Loose primers
You can buy small tackle boxes that have different compartments so you can organize them.

Re: Loose primers
I try to keep it simple and low cost. I label a zip lock bag with a Sharpie marker. If I think ahead of time that I won't use an entire box I toss the cardboard sleeve into the bag to avoid doubt.

Re: Loose primers
Thanks guys. I just happen to have an organizer with little drawers doing nothing right now. I just wanted to be sure I wasn't creating an unsafe situation with them loose like that.
I actually have bunches of them - somewhere. Back in the day of film, I had my own B&W darkroom, bought film in bulk and rolled my own, etc. I have no idea where that stuff is now.

If your at that age left over prescription bottles also work great. I also use these to store bore swaps and brushes or anything else that gets a bit oil soaked.

Re: Loose primers
During the 1980s they recommended a 35mm film can filled with primers to initiate ANFO for hastey operations LOL

Re: Loose primers
How about those plastic pill boxes that have compartments for the days of the week. You can label them and have all the odd primers in one package. I know they come in many sizes so if you reload for a lot of calibres you will have enough seprate compartments.
Some people just plain suck.
If you're gonna be dumb ya gotta be tough.

Re: Loose primers
I use a Flambeau & MTM Primer Arrangers, It holds 100 - 200 primers and then there is no need to keep the boxes
You can get them on ebay for about $10.00
