I usually do them in batches of 25 to 30. Tedious but rewarding.
Re: I Solved the primer shortage
this piqued my interest and looking at the baggies and ratios it looks like nitrate (caking and ratio), sulfur(yellow color), charcoal or aluminum(dark color) and a 4th ingredient like a chlorate or perchlorate(other white, although seeing another image it looks like a tan color)
i'm very curious what it is supposed to make and how they came up with it.

The chemicals are potassium chlorate, antimony trisulfide, sulfur and ground glass.
