If you don’t have the metal sheeting, just reuse the old primer cap by using a piece of metal rod (the blunt end of a drill bit) which fits inside the cap to punch out the dimple from the previous firing, then finish the way this video says to.

[@ChucksSEADnDEAD]

Depends on the kind of primer. Some can be knocked out with a small rod inserted trough the mouth of the casing. If you can't, you can drill it out.

Great idea bloke,if theres no primers at all we improvise and this is how its done. Ive seen this method with matches and striker and works just a well but your ingredients are more stable and safer to work with. Good stuff 👍👌

[@bolshoibooze8010]

I've tried this before back in 2012 ammo shortages...and it is not safe for semi operation. The compound is too shock sensitive causing 4/10 rounds I made had slam fire out of AR and SKS. But should work fairly well with single loader shotgun and bolt action.

[@xProxywarsx]

It's very fun as well as helps you save your rounds and not shoot 50 at a time. It also stops his gun from getting too dirty. In addition to what is typed, a light load is ideal for his bullets as his springs are meant for light strikes.

If you're using a boxer primed case you just stick something though the touch hole and push it out(he's using a boxer primed case) If you're using a berdan primed case... look up on youtube how to remove it. Berdan primed cases have two holes in the base of the case, while a boxer has one large one. The advantage of a berdan case here is that you don't need that triangular anvil because the case is the anvil.

[@dalroache]

Due to its small size etc won't it be blasted out back end I know it not have no where to go but won't gases escape out back etc I don't know as I from the UK so I am not knowledgeable like you guys but hey awesome man I love the fact most things can be done with a little bit of determination and a little bit of knowledge etc

[@shoiabrigana]

Just use match heads tho and grind some of where you scratch the match head to powder and mix them , to try it that it will work put a little bit on your left thumb nail and put your right thumb nail where the powder on and scratch it quick and it’ll spark that mean it’s ready to go or beat it with hammer becareful the mix is sensitive to force.

Be sure to scrub and oil that barrel, and to be safe, the receiver too, the cap powder/material may have corrosive residue, don't wait, do immediately after the shooting session! I can smell sulphur from those popped caps, that's a warning sign!

[@independentthinker8930]

Under a real round with the pressures involved, will aluminum hold without a ruture? Pressurd should create a gas seal without glue, maybe nail polish to moisture proof it if the aluminun holds up. I would use the old cups again, flattening the firing pin dent would be much easier and it's steel.

[@Jagdtyger2A]

Very cool, I am sad that my eyes no longer an srr small things like that to do it my self any more. But very cool. All that is needed now is a tool like the "tap cap" percussion cap former

[@AP-zw6ql]

Pretty cool, but I have a suggestion that might make this method easier. Since this method uses recycled anvils from spent primers, why not use the anvil AND the cup from the old primer? Instead of forming a new cup from scratch, just use the old one. Use the blunt end of the drill bit to hammer out the dimple from the previous firing pin strike and you have a properly sized cup ready to go. The forming of the cup seemed like the hardest part, recycling an old cup would eliminate that step.

[@sixthsons5345]

He is showing what he capable of 😂

[@archangel20031]

If you save the original anvil, why not use the original cup? I use a flat bottom punch of the right size to tap out the dent.

[@chapiit08]

Homemade brass can be made out of solid bar stock on a lathe. Then it needs to be annealed and formed over a press and die(s) It's the only viable method that doesn't make use of press punches, drawing presses, etc. It would be wise to stick to a straight case caliber like 45-70 etc. with a very slight taper that can actually be machined to final shape/dimension rather than press formed and a Berdan primer pocket is ideal as they are much easier to make than the Boxer type.

[@Avalonious]

[@TryHeaven]

Uhh ive been researching this stuff for a while and the easiest method i can say is only hydraulic press, the whole process is not that hard but it does require machinery that normal person wouldnt have Depending on the type (i.e rifle, handgun, intermediate) you will be having more or less steps but basic operation of making includes these steps: Brass sheet around 0.3 cm thick is cut in small circles Annealing First pressing, it now looks like small rocket Annealing Second pressing, now it has flat bottom Annealing Cutting the excess material Annealing Third pressing, making hole for primer (depending on whether boxer or berdan) Annealing Cutting circle on the bottom of a round to first remove rim (if rimless ammo is needed) and then cut another time to make rimless And thats basically it for 9mm

[@kumbackquatsta]

could you do a video on making metallic cartridges without using fired brass

[@OspreyKnight]

If you have berdan primed cases yes because the anvil is part of the case. if you have boxer, like he has you need that anvil or there will be nothing for the primer compound to be smashed against.

[@OspreyKnight]

If you're making a straight walled case like a 38 special you're fine and easy. But drawing out a brass case you need someone to machine a series of forms(that are accurate to thousandth of an inch) and get a heavy press.

[@lisalisa3635]

You could use Paper to contain the charge, Bullet and primer like the flintlock rifles of the 1700s

[@cal30m1]

Why not use a flat drift punch to flatten a spent primer’s cup?

[@bermudezhg]

If you took the anvil from an used primer, you can reuse the primer cup as well !! Just hammer flat the old firing pin indentation. This method works 3 or 4 times with a given used primer cup.

[@branni6538]

It will work more if heated to red hot and flattened then quenched or left unquenched. Heating removes the stress in the metal and so will normalizing it.

Spend the 20 bucks and buy some prime all. You'll get enough compound to make hundreds of primers. Get a set of dies! Much easier to get primers in or out. And the right size punch to fit inside the primer to remove the dent. A set of 7 cost less than 10 bucks at walmart. Much cheaper than the emergency room for stitches when the drill bit snaps.

[@phasechange5053]

Basically every one of these i find they use pop caps.. but if you were ever in true need to make these would you be able to even find pop caps? sure we have recipes to make black powder if things ever went way way down hill. not every weapon would be able to use black powder but actually most straight wall casing rounds could adapt.. But it always comes back to primers. even if you can make black powder from scratch if you run out of primers you essentially cant make a primer from scratch. I understand we can press the fire pin out of the old primers and we can make the cups with a aluminum can which is cool. But id like to see someone post a commonplace make-able compound to re-manufacture a primer striker with scratch materials if for example modern manufacturing ever disappears. .

[@sergeantbigmac]

Thats pretty easy, just use Armstrongs mix ie both components of strike anywhere matches ground up and combined create an impact explosive. Im not sure of the chemical names, I know one is a type of phosphorus, but theyre fairly common chemicals on their own.

Use a needle to get them out. One can use the old cup by straitning it out a little. I will do a program sometime in the future and show how to real primer compound from the grounds up. One can also make primer compound for .22 ammo as well.

It's not the same, but since tacome only needs the casings then both would work, I think.

[@daverose8772]

Don't even think of using this method. The black powder and an additional ingredient makes the cap detonate from concussion. A fully loaded rifle cartridge with a cap compound reloaded primer, is a deadly accident waiting to happen. The cap powder is so unstable, even just reloading the case could get the primer to detonate when seating a bullet. Dropping, striking, vibrations, etc.... can get the cap powder to react. If you have a death wish, yeh sure, go reload your primers. I have 40 years of reloading experience and would never do this with the primer component. Standard primers are 500% more stable than cap powder.

[@preese43]

Seems more efficient just to buy the primers already made. What is time worth?

[@floydhawk2169]

I think if you put this primer in a case with a normal charge of powder and bullet and fire it, the primer will rupture due to back pressure. Not a good outcome.

[@ChucksSEADnDEAD]

He did this because he has weaker hammer springs on his paper guns. They didn't set off real primers. He has a video showing how to reclaim primer cups. However you'll get 2-3 uses max because even hammering the dent flat, each dent on the primer makes material flow away.
