Pulp, SASS#28319 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Bad news: I went by the local Academy the other day, asked if they had any primers. "No, got some large pistol yesterday but the're all gone." Good news: Clerk looked in the shipping box, there about 25 loose primers in the bottom. He said "You can have these." He put them in a little plastic bag and I put them in my jacket pocket and happily left the store. Bad news: Wife washed the jacket, primers got wet. Good news:, After letting them dry overnight, I put one in a .45 Colt case, loaded it into the conversion cylinder for my '60 Army and dropped the hammer. A satisfying POP happened and flame came from the end of the barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Sun Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 At least they didn't make to the dryer or if you're REAL old fashioned, the wringer. Someone is unhappy that they got shorted 25 primers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeaconKC Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 There was a poem once about a girl who leaned too close to a wringer. Wish I could find it, because it was hysterical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 My Mama went to school with a girl whose arms got drug into the wringer when she was very young. Broke both elbows. They healed stiff, the girl had about a 20 degree bend to both arms ... all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Primers in the dryer might have been interesting. Percussion caps in the vacuum cleaner are attention getting. Don’t ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog McCoy SASS #5672 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Some days you win, some days you lose, and other days you can't win for losing. You know you shot the only good primer out of the batch, the rest will be squibs at a big match that you waited months to shoot at and do well.

After they dried, he reported they all worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
