It is not economic, but it might be fun to make some just for the experience. The materials are a little easier to come by in Europe, We will not be falling back to flintlocks.

Very good information to have one might not need it as it is easy to buy and store primers. But in other places in the world it could very well be relevant.

I am looking forward to directed energy hand weapons for the future battles against tyranny.

GONRA noted comments on hydraulic decapping.

Has anyone ever successfully de-capped a Bredan primed case? I've tried it using a wooden dowel and by driving an unfired bullet into a shell casing full of water. I've ruined cases and shot water all over the place but have never managed to remove a primer. I Have tried this with 8mm Mauser, 7.35 Carcano and 7.62x39. No joy.

I recently saw roll caps for toy pistols in Tractor Supply. (smile) It was in the closeout section, thought it interesting since they did not appear to sell toys.

I reload. Have since the 1970’s. 2-3 years ago I bought a great new press and some extra dies & supplies. Have primers, brass, powder, bullets and molds for cast bullets for most of the calibers we shoot. Just in case.

No we will not have to go back to flintlocks. And no, the ComDems will not confiscate our guns. Screw em

I couldn’t find the video before I head to the office but there’s a great video of Taliban reloading ammo in a cave using rocks and all handmade tools.

I would suggest that this sort of information on primers and the information on gunpowder and homemade firearms be stored in paper rather than electronic form. If things get ugly, accessing self-defense information on the Internet could lead to lopsided encounters with socialist minions. A nice binder with relevant instructions is much safer.
