Could it be possible to reload primers at all? Like clean out

Jesus Christ, read the last sentence. He poses an interesting question, but he'll get an answer similar to the, "can you reload .22lr?"

Sure, but it's a lot more effort than its worth.

OP, I have no idea but I imagine not. Mercury fulminate is probably usable as a primer, but my anarchist cookbook background in explosives (super shitty) can't think of something relevant and, well, stable.

I think I've heard of people using a punch to get the dent out of the cup, then putting some other reactive stuff in there.
Lots of effort though for a primer.

How do these work? Could you substitute them for a real primer?

At least in a percussion cap muzzle loaders?

>>31027280
yes.

they are full of mercury fulminate.

some early BP revolvers used paper tapes like you find in some cap guns.

cap guns are basically using early black powder percussion caps.

You are literally retarded if you think they use mercury fulminate in kids toys.

>>31027062
Yes you can, there are videos of it on youtube and someone here made an instructional picture on how to do it. You pop the primer out, flatten the dimple, move the anvil, fill it with crudely made armstrongs mixture made of matches, and reassemble. Armstrongs mixture is unstable but not terribly so when made in a crude manner like crushed matches. It's probably dangerous, unreliable, and not worth the time, but it is doable.

But you can reload 22lr. It just isn't an practical process

The guy reloads 9mm primers with matches and black powder.

This. A friend and I tried it a while back, just for shits. It was an annoying amount of work and only worked like 1/3 of the time. We used potassium something or other my friend had on hand.

That's the point of what he's saying.

Real percussion caps used to, modern ones do not. Maybe in china or something. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if dollar store cap guns contain some amount of mercury.

>>31027337
those little paper firework snaps, that you throw to make them go POP, are filled with silver fulminate.

add boron carbide to armstrong mixture, to use as a primer.

The Forster Tap-O-Cap (no longer made, but you can find them on Ebay) was good for making percussion caps out of aluminum cans. Then you stack a couple of toy gun paper caps inside. I've used them on black powder rifles and pistols when a friend gave me some, they worked fine. I suppose you could make your own primer explosive too, but never tried.

Be much easier to do with berdan primers versus boxer. Breaking Bad had an episode where Walt made fulminate of mercury in his kitchen. That's really all you need. punch the dimple out of a berdan primer, put a drop of fulminate in and let it dry. With a boxer primer you would need to deal with the anvil.

you should seal your fulminate primers with varnish.

>>31027062
Yes
