reloading spent primers

[Delmar]

Has anyone here tried reloading spent primers with strike anywhere match tips? I read about it online and decided to give it a try. It works really well, but it is very time consuming. Here are a couple of youtube videos if you want to check them out. The first one is a "how to" video. The second is a test fire. just the prier, loaded in a case with no bullet.

interesting... and could be useful in a SHTF situation.

Jesus... Only a Hi-Point nut would obsess so much over something so goofy.

That said, its is wonderful news! I haven't been reloading because I haven't been able to find primers locally. By the time you pay for shipping on a couple packs of primers you may as well buy WWB or Balzer.

If you want to call it an obsession, to want to shoot even though I can't find ammo or primers, call me obsessed. I do like my hi Point a lot, by the way.

If you are out of ammo, you would want to reload before anything hits the fan, I think.

What does using those reloaded primers do to chamber pressure?

What a class act.

Go ahead and pile on the negative rep, but you forgot to quote THIS PART:

Everyone is so touchy over the recent brand wars that nobody can kid around. Did you mis my page-long post in the bashing thread?

Let me take this time to thank the OP again for posting this valuable information.

Your backpedaling isn't convincing. Just be nice, OK???

I have never bashed Hi-points. If you look at my post history, you will find that I have indeed owned several, and that I have attested that they are reliable pieces.

I also remember disagreeing with you specificaly in the Hi-point thread about how much of a bargain they are. Its sad that you have such a chip on your shoulder. Just enjoy your HP guns and let me enjoy my Glocks and Berettas.

Look here at the bottome of page 2:

Yes, that can be silly sometimes too, but Glocks and XDs are better pistols in every way. Thats not a bash against Hi-Points; all three of the Hi-Point pistols I have owned in the past were reliable guns.

You are wrong about my stance on Hi-point guns sir. While i have expressed my doubts about the amount of gun you get for the money, and stated my opinion that there are better guns out there, I have not berated the function of of the users of Hi-point firearms.

If you cant laught at yourself, then your taking life WAY to seriously.

All I care is "does it work".

Did you make used primers work again in a loaded shell and fire the reloaded amo?

 

[lacroixdp]

That's very clever! The big question I have is, how well would it take a fall that just happened to hit the primer end?

I am sure like any other ammo you can hit the primer just right and make it go off. Contrary to popular belief they do fly with out the bbl. So don't throw your ammo in the rocks.

I like it. I might have to use it when out president make primers unavailable. But, with out being too much of a party pooper I will ask this question. Since a primer is a detonation device is building one or reloading one legal?

To make for your own reloading yes. can't sell them though.

Even if you were bashing Hi Points, it's all in good fun right? If I spent $700 on a weapon, because I wanted the quality. I might hassle a buddy who spent less than $200 on his, just a little.

Is that the same trick Kirk used to shoot that big lizard man?

Thank you. Glad to see someone here can roll with the flow. Everyone else is wound so damn tight.
