Could be of interest to .32 rimfire owners if they could find brass cases.

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

That's encouraging, and now makes me wish I'd have kept all those once fired .32 RF cases! I still have about 6-8 boxes of old Cannuck .32 RF, and have been rationing my shooting of them. Might look into buying the components to make the priming solution, and use my .32 Long CF dies to reload some.

I wonder about that priming compound.  If it's some variant of the old style chlorate mixture, it would be corrosive and erosive.  The old .22 and .25 calibers didn't last long loaded with smokeless when those primers were used.

On the other hand, the concept is pretty cool.  It's always great to see this kind of enterprise.  I've got a bunch of .25 and .32 RF empties and eagerly await the loaders for those.

I may need to dig through my pile of scrap brass for the .32 and .25 rimfire empties. Sounds promising.

Just to rock the boat. Has anyone tried centrifugal force to pack the primer material.

Good question, desert dude.  Simple enough to do with an electric drill.

What are the components of the priming compound?  Are they corrosive?  Erosive?  Both?  Shelf life?
