  • isnt there a way to just buy the compond a match head is made of or is that way more dangerous or more complicated?

  • @palex9 I'm sure there is but this video is intended as a last ditch effort if the stores are closed and you're in a deep shit situation

  • can you make the anvil by your self at home for small parts around the house? if so please try it. i dunno if it'll work. and what about ring caps will it send off sparks?

  • @dogbone222 The anvil is part of the primer. Ring caps would not work because the primer itself is exposed to a lot of pressure. The material in will work.

  • CERTAINLY NOT TO KNOCK RELOADING AS I ALSO DO RELOAD, THE BULK AMMO SUGGESTION WAS MORE FOR THE NON-TECHNICAL TYPE OF SHOOTER WHO MIGHT NOT EVER MASTER THE SCIENCE OF RELOADING. PRIMERS ARE PLENTIFUL TO FIND IF YOU KNOW WHERE. MAKING THEM IS DANGEROUS AND STUPID. AS WITH ALL FIREARMS, POWDERS AND PRIMERS, SAFETY ALWAYS COMES FIRST.

  • Dont ever try this primer reload method,as its highly unstable, The powdered form of primer mix will spill out between the cup and anvil and the primer wont fire at all. Recoil pressures from a previous round could ignite the match head material, and the firearm will blow your you damned head off. Just buy bulk ammo......and forget you ever saw saw this ridiculous video.

  • @ammosmith I don't have a primer machine, can i do it without it?

  • tweesers might help no ? good job this is somehting im really worried about.. not able to use my bullets for lack of primers. he could that powder be made into a solution maybe..?

  • tweesers might help no ?

  • I wonder if sugar and potassium nitrate mixed (Rocket Candy) would ignite under hammer strike pressure? Stuff's cheap as chips to make and plenty readily available. I just don't know if it ignites under sudden pressure.
