Re: Deactivating primers
WD 40 will not kill primers when it dries out they will go bang again.
The hammer method is what I use whilst wearing safety specs.

Re: Deactivating primers
Stupid question probably but cant you just load them and fire them ensuring that all powder is out of them?
It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!
Re: Deactivating primers
Hammer but if they are milsurp they are likely to be Berdan primed which means ideally they need to be detonated in a rifle which makes noise and they are probably corrosive as well.
Re: Deactivating primers
I've always popped the primers in a gun, hammer and nail just doesn't appeal to me.....
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Re: Deactivating primers
Shoot them, clouting cases with a primer in is not a great idea. I suppose you could remove the decapping pin, resize and load them as an alternative.
