Alycidon Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I was priming some cases the other day when I noticed in the pack (Fed 205s) one primer had left the little purple star that holds the primer compound in place in the pack. I found the primer and the compound looks secure within it, I am pretty sure it is OK to use but has anyone any thoughts. I could pop it into a case, load it and shoot it straight away if I had to.

MarinePMI Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Uhh...I'm reasonably sure that without the anvil (the "star") you'll have a hard time setting the primer off (nothing to squeeze the compound between to ignite it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest varmartin Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Its quite rare to find one with the `anvil` loose. As marinePMI has said it wont ignite without it....so best to just bin it. No point in re building the faulty primers if you have others, as a hang fire could result... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
