Re: I Solved the primer shortage
I thought you needed a high explosive manufacturing license from the ATF to get a hold of aluminum powder these days?

Re: I Solved the primer shortage
And I have another question...when using those reloaded primers...are they magnum or regular? What data do you use for reloading the ammo?

Re: I Solved the primer shortage
I would say standard primer. I load pretty low power stuff. I will run it through the chronograph and see what the velocity difference is between these and standard primers

Not yet. If not mistaken there is a 0ne lb limit, but I used to buy mine in 5lb lots.
You can also make it using a tumbler.

Re: I Solved the primer shortage
....shouldnt one clean their wea regularly anyway? it is a great way to avoid infection.
tumbling aluminum is simple, some other chemicals not so much.
like if i recall aluminum doesnt require special tumbling processes and materials to avoid explosion and static.
because it is aluminum.There is no way to make it out alive...

Re: I Solved the primer shortage
I can't answer your question to whether or not these reloaded primers would be magnum or not.... But you can load non-magnum pistols using magnum primers..I've done it with both 380 and 9mm....when using a mid-to lower range load with no issues.. but do your home work before doing so.. also if you have a lite hammer spring it may not work as the primer cups are a bit harder.....
