How do I disable and dispose of live primers?
I had about a dozen primers that needed disposed of. Some were decapped with a universal decapping die carefully (I set none off by doing this) and others had light/dud type strikes on them.
I heard about using water, and I read somewhere else wd40. 30 minutes soaking in water didn't disable them. A hammer confirmed this.
The same wet primers were then sprayed with wd40, and left to sit for 10 minutes. All primers that did not have dud strikes on them still went off using the same hammer method.
How do you disable live primers? So far the only method I have found is a hammer.
n.b.: A match to a single flake of powder showed that Unique withstood the same water & wd40 & burned. Whatever powder is in the remington corlokt rounds I was unable to set off with a flame after the water wd40 treatment.
