“Have friends who re prime them.”

I’ve known several who have worked at Federal Cartridge. The primer room is designed to blow “out” the side of the building instead of “in” when things go sideways.

I have lots of Lake City brass and pulled bullets.
If ammo, in storage, reaches it’s expiration date, it’s disassembled and the brass and bullets sold off.

Sounds like a bargain. I wonder why they don’t reuse the stuff themselves.

Probably fed gov contracts.
But the brass and bullets are slightly damaged in pulling, so may have a reliability issue if reused.

LOL! I should have corrected the headline

I don't think you should correct original titles. If you did that, somebody might have posted the same article again.

It is not to be taken lightly. In the “old days” of black powder, explosions were not uncommon, from what I have read.

I had a neighbor who made his own black powder, pretty simple recipe. I never liked the smell of sulfur, especially burning.

There are safe ways to re prime, primers. Some actually put the wet primers into the brass before it finishes drying. Most work the powder dry and drop water+ into cup. They dry pretty quick. Made in small batches, it is not nearly as dangerous.

The success rate of re primed, primers can be very close to 100%. It is a slow process. But if none are available, it is good to know it can be done.

Quite possibly gearing up for a coming conflict?
I noticed that the US Army is shoring up its emergency blood supply as well.

I have no doubt that’s what the “no civilian sales” is about.
