Re: My attempt at making homemade priming compound
I'm going to see how your trials go before I start on these.
I have collected about a 30.06 depth in a vitamin bottle.

Re: My attempt at making homemade priming compound
This is great. I enjoyed your videos a lot. I'll have to give this a try someday. I remember when I made homemade black that I added denatured alcohol to the dry powder to cake it and then it's ground through a mesh to get the sizes corned. Fun playing with chemicals..
Did you ever have misfires with the Star with new primers? I did a trigger job on my sp101 and the trigger is great but just light enough to miss on a few primers here and there. Do you have a chronograph and any plans to see the same load new primer vs reloaded primer?
Thanks again for sharing all of this. Great stuff.

Sulfur makes kclo3 and aluminum powder shock sensitive, try adding a little more sulfur.
Also, make sure the chemicals are ground very fine, like baby powder, the finer the better.

There's a guy with a youtube channel called Elvis Ammo and he's trying something similar out.
He also does a lot of good reloading videos."One must be a fox to recognize traps, and a lion to frighten wolves” ~ Machiavelli

Re: My attempt at making homemade priming compound
cross contamination on hands was quite unhappy.
maybe make a small ball mill and use glass beads or lead or something non reactive to tumble the powders to the right grade before the mixing party?
i envision something like a medicine bottle with some glass beads and something to rotate it on spindles or bearings.

Re: My attempt at making homemade priming compound
Good point. My best black was made when I ball milled everything. I took a small round tupperware container, used a bronze bolt through it and .44 lead balls. I only milled a small anount (2-3 tablespoons) at a time. I chucked it in a cordless drill which was set in a bench vise. Tape the trigger for slow turn and let it go for 20 minutes. Worked great.
