Sooooooo, I dropped a sleeve of shotgun primers on the floor

Really!  And, those 100 shiny primers went rolling and bouncing in as many direction. Now, if that and the pursuant language was not bad enough my little dog ate 4 of them. H’mmmm. Guess I should stay inside when she goes out over the next day or so.

Fortunately, you can use a magnet to pick them all up!

I’ll pass on that I believe......

After those four primers just go 'click' you can say you loaded a bunch of crappy ammo

This, too, shall pass.   :D  Don't wear shoes in there for a week or so.  :P

Careful with the magnet idea.

The magnet can attract the primer fast and hard enough to cause detonation.

 

I was glad I was using a long stick magnet so I didn't have to bend over and I was reaching under a low shelf.

 

Wrap the magnet with a small towel or wash cloth to pad the metal to metal impact.

Yep! And it’s pretty freakin’ loud, too! ;)

 

Also, don’t use a floor vacuum. I can recall 2 people that I know that did that and a primer went off in the vacuum as it was picking up the primers with the brushes. One ended up having to replace the vacuum. The plastic housing was cracked.

Reminds me of one of my favorite Andy Griffith episodes:

Y'all need to train your pets better.

 

Feller on another board. Spilled some small rifle primers. Had some fancy schmancy high-dollar pedigreed pigeon walking around in his loading room and it ate four of them.

 

He was telling about it and how they took it to the vet and they were in its stomach and didn't seem to be causing any problems, so he was relieved, and I mentioned the gizzard, and the small rocks therein.

 

Back to the vet, and a $1,200 operation later, and the primers were removed without blowing the bird up.

I suppose it is a good thing the dogs don’t have gizzards!

Ain't no pigeon worth 1200 Bucks.  Suckin tham li'l suckers (primers) up in yer shop vac without the filter can get some interesting.  Don't ask how I just happen to know that li'l FACT.

My wife got a live one in the Kirby. Things built like a tank though. She was some upset though. And if you want to clean the innards of a vacuum just pick up a couple ounces of shot.

Did you yell “PULL” before you sent those shotgun primers flying?

No, I believe I hollered “S- - -T” or something similar to that.
