- this is not meant to be tutorial or anything like that. it just shows what works the best for me and how you use this information is all up to you.
it's very tricky to get the right cups, sometimes you get lucky, sometimes not. on a good run, i could get 5-10 cups in 5 minutes but on the other hand, i might only get 1-2 so i guess you'll get better over time. the primers i made take very strong spring and large mass(firing pin) to set off so for lighter firing mechanism, you might want to go with softer materials like aluminum. if your gun can set of real primers, then you can skip all this and buy the real thing.
THIS IS FOR LOW PRESSURE ROUNDS ONLY!!!!! (or percussion guns)
So again, just be very carful with her, she is very sensitive and have fun but stay safe!
I watched this 9 years ago... and it's still good today. Honestly, I miss you, dude. Your craftsmanship, calm explanations, and cool projects were YT gold.
There's more people starting to get into this hobby now.
Depends on the kind of primer. Some can be knocked out with a small rod inserted trough the mouth of the casing. If you can't, you can drill it out.
If you don’t have the metal sheeting, just reuse the old primer cap by using a piece of metal rod (the blunt end of a drill bit) which fits inside the cap to punch out the dimple from the previous firing, then finish the way this video says to.
Keep on Keeping on, You getting there, just make sure You take all of the safety precausions ..
what type of caps do you use cause the one i bought the powder is glued to the paper
would you trust in these to use a real load? (i mean gun power and a proyecftile)
thats a berdan primed shell. to remove just fill it pretty close to the top with water, find a punch the size of the bullet bore, put the primer over a hole, and hammer the punch down
😂😂😂😂
@@discoverytravels7426 Whats funny?
when i try to make a primer the drill bit will tares the metal apart any ideas to prevent that?
Thank you brother for the knowledge 🎉❤😊
Pretty cool. Thanks.
could you do a video on making metallic cartridges without using fired brass
looks like your homemade primer got pierced during the test fire, would be interesting to see a fully reloaded round fired
Yes this is a problem
I would never have thought that cap gun caps would be strong enough to use as the explosive to ignite the powder
Any impact sensitive material is good, basically.
If you grind matchheads and mix it with ground dust from the side of the matchbox and put it in the primer...it will corrode the shit out of your barrel, but it works.
I've tried this before back in 2012 ammo shortages...and it is not safe for semi operation. The compound is too shock sensitive causing 4/10 rounds I made had slam fire out of AR and SKS. But should work fairly well with single loader shotgun and bolt action.
Perfect work.
Nice rifle, stan!
what caliber rounds are you using? i found a spent shell (7.62) but the flash hole is split into two little holes so i cant remove the primer :(
Silverballer1911, you using a knife to press the compound in the primer cup? How are the getting cut?
not sure if its already been covered but could i use aluminm can metal for this or no?
Ah, ok. Thanks! Btw, When you shoot the gun will the anvil stay in the shell?
yes it will its seated against the case so it wont go anywhere
Great video, for those doing this, just make sure to test test test until you are sure what you do works.
your the man .
thanks !
where do you get the measurements for the guns you build
Under a real round with the pressures involved, will aluminum hold without a ruture? Pressurd should create a gas seal without glue, maybe nail polish to moisture proof it if the aluminun holds up. I would use the old cups again, flattening the firing pin dent would be much easier and it's steel.
How did you get the old/used primer out?? I tried to hammer on it from the other side so it comes off but it dosen't :/
I'm not really a gun person so I don't really know a lot of stuff about guns, but what does the anvil do?
Best primer video I could find. Thanks for showing us how. I feel totally less stressed about running out of primers now.

@@NareshKumar-ui7lr indians be like:
do you know if a 50 bmg primer has more lead styphnate (explosive compound) that a 209 shot shell primer? i was wanting to make a mini shape charge with the primer' i do know shotshell primers are pretty powerfull and if you set it on a penny and blow it up with a blow torch the explosive will actually bend the penny" its amazingly strong for the amount of explosive compound in them" anyways hope you may know the answer' i wanna go out and buy some soon" also do you know anything about if rim fire shells carry more explosive compound than shotshell primers? i remember along time ago taking apart nail gun bullets and there was this yellow primer in it that ichave know clue what it was but there was a crap load' maybe more than the about of 4-5 shotshell primers.
If you're using a boxer primed case you just stick something though the touch hole and push it out(he's using a boxer primed case)
If you're using a berdan primed case... look up on youtube how to remove it.
Berdan primed cases have two holes in the base of the case, while a boxer has one large one. The advantage of a berdan case here is that you don't need that triangular anvil because the case is the anvil.
If you're making a straight walled case like a 38 special you're fine and easy.
But drawing out a brass case you need someone to machine a series of forms(that are accurate to thousandth of an inch) and get a heavy press.
You could use Paper to contain the charge, Bullet and primer like the flintlock rifles of the 1700s
Homemade brass can be made out of solid bar stock on a lathe. Then it needs to be annealed and formed over a press and die(s) It's the only viable method that doesn't make use of press punches, drawing presses, etc. It would be wise to stick to a straight case caliber like 45-70 etc. with a very slight taper that can actually be machined to final shape/dimension rather than press formed and a Berdan primer pocket is ideal as they are much easier to make than the Boxer type.
"Take her out, you'll wanna be gentle with her, she's very sensitive, she'll tend to go off on you if you mistreat her. Then, tap her out."
What rifle is that mate? It's awesome
It's known as Kaboom your hands are vanished ricko
@Tacome1942 Can you please show us your method for getting old primers out?
It's very fun as well as helps you save your rounds and not shoot 50 at a time. It also stops his gun from getting too dirty. In addition to what is typed, a light load is ideal for his bullets as his springs are meant for light strikes.
Have you ever had a cap blow up on you while making the primer?
The Afghans used chopped celluloid film as powder and strike any where mach heads in the primer pocket to reload rounds.
good video but is this safe for real bullets wouldedt you be risking some serious blow back with the improvised cup
this is gona be a very useful talent in the near future if this ammo shortage bullshit continues or guns get outlawed
This aged well
Yep...this guy right here is a damn hero.
@@lupacchinobros 😂
Oof
how can i stop my cups getting cut?? when i push it in the metal splits at the bottom
1 question how did u put that newspapers on that rifle so prefect?
Cause rifle is made of newspaper
Since you have used primers, try pulling the anvil out, using the drill-bit to tap out the firing pin mark in the orig cup, and do the same, just reload the primers...
Very cool, I am sad that my eyes no longer an srr small things like that to do it my self any more. But very cool. All that is needed now is a tool like the "tap cap" percussion cap former
Would you tell me what that tape at 3:21 is?
I want to know about that tape.
Why not use a flat drift punch to flatten a spent primer’s cup?
What kinda stock is that gun on or what is it wrapped with
Was that shot just the force of the primer or was there gun powder inside as well?
Seems more efficient just to buy the primers already made. What is time worth?
can any of you learn the basics of what he is trying to show you?
paper gun or no.
learning the basics for how to make a primer or to take a spent cartrage and turn it back into a round you can use again for hunting or self defense is PRICELESS.
Not exactly priceless when they are commonly available rounds,
I’ll give you $28.89. Go buy 1,000 primers. It’s faster, and easier. Lol. Cheers.
@@albertforletta1498 & @

Funny how those comments aged like a fine milk. The current situation is exactly what this was intended for, not being a cheap ass.
Rob Calhoun , would you want me to give you $28.89?? Lol. I don’t need to make my own primers. I will never experience an ammo shortage. You could shut down all ammo manufacturers on this entire planet and reloading suppliers, and I will still be going to the range shooting lots of ammo for the next 5 years. What ammo shortage? I didn’t know we had an ammo shortage.
@@albertforletta1498 Nope, can't shoot money. But some ammo would be nice :)
My god, reloading takes long enough as is. Hell of a SHTF method though!
Look up the base components of priming compound and their history. Pressing cups is not that hard to mindlessly punch out a few hundred. Recycle your anvils or make them. Then use your highschool chemistry knowledge to make it. (Be mindful of your local laws)
A muzzleloader would be faster.
Well yes but actually no. Dude, you're not going to be doing this in the heat of a fight or hunting or practice. You do it on your off time so that you save time between shots when you actually take them. I'm thinking you aren't very experienced with guns yet. There are a lot of people like that this year and that is ok.
@@DobleWhiteAndStabley how do you make anvils?
@@SammyNeverEver They're just pieces of metal that won't budge so the primer can be crushed. The more important thing is to know how to make the primer compound.
Is there a way to just use the plastic caps? I can't find paper caps locally and don't buy online.
you fire in the aluminium?
@cornzplosion
Well then that wouldnt be metallic now would it?
Wow... good experiment... good job...
how do you take the original primers out of it?
Due to its small size etc won't it be blasted out back end I know it not have no where to go but won't gases escape out back etc I don't know as I from the UK so I am not knowledgeable like you guys but hey awesome man I love the fact most things can be done with a little bit of determination and a little bit of knowledge etc
Use a needle to get them out. One can use the old cup by straitning it out a little. I will do a program sometime in the future and show how to real primer compound from the grounds up. One can also make primer compound for .22 ammo as well.
what was that metal sheet from? i didnt understood :P
dude... GO ONNNN!!! :D
Just use match heads tho and grind some of where you scratch the match head to powder and mix them , to try it that it will work put a little bit on your left thumb nail and put your right thumb nail where the powder on and scratch it quick and it’ll spark that mean it’s ready to go or beat it with hammer becareful the mix is sensitive to force.

Now to make homemade brass!
Nice.
Be sure to scrub and oil that barrel, and to be safe, the receiver too, the cap powder/material may have corrosive residue, don't wait, do immediately after the shooting session! I can smell sulphur from those popped caps, that's a warning sign!
What was the powder you use?
I bet it's fun when the roll cap goes off while cutting it
Hi,
What is the thickness of the sheet metal you used ?
Have a nice day.
so i can use this on Tula ammo?
how you take out the old primer of the cartridge
That’s an impressive paper rifle.
If you took the anvil from an used primer, you can reuse the primer cup as well !! Just hammer flat the old firing pin indentation. This method works 3 or 4 times with a given used primer cup.
It will work more if heated to red hot and flattened then quenched or left unquenched. Heating removes the stress in the metal and so will normalizing it.
i used metal from a can and i think i used some other metal too but i will try to anneal it and try it again
can you make firing test whit one of your guns?
is that a .308? i have one to for my rifle :)
If you have berdan primed cases yes because the anvil is part of the case. if you have boxer, like he has you need that anvil or there will be nothing for the primer compound to be smashed against.
Great idea bloke,if theres no primers at all we improvise and this is how its done. Ive seen this method with matches and striker and works just a well but your ingredients are more stable and safer to work with. Good stuff 👍👌
It's not the same, but since tacome only needs the casings then both would work, I think.
bro how did you get the 556 cartridge i need answer please?😂
where do you get your shells from?
Aarmstrong powder
can someone tell me how to take the original primers off the rounds? I tried a lot of stuff but it is still there, seems like its glued ¬¬. Sorry for any wrong word im from brazil ;)
maybe you have a berdan primed case,this type of case has just two small flash holes instead of just one big one,you cant deprime those without a reloading press
What is the material of sheet metal? How thick?
I have a question every time I try to make the cup I'm punching through the metal... And I use the same metal...
try seating the primer a bit deeper
@@joemama.556 well seating the metal I want to become the primer doesn't help, I still punch through that thing...
@@that_escalated_quickly2720 is it a conventional gun or a diy? if you have tweaked with the fcg, you might want to go back and lighten the hammer spring
@@joemama.556 im talking about fabricating the primer Lil thingy the primer pocket... The little knob filled with Armstrongs mix... I'm trying to make those little pieces, as I can't buy them...i want them for self made blanks, I never said I punched through them when I fired, but when I wanted to press them into shape to make them and fill them... I already used Heat but it didn't work...
@@that_escalated_quickly2720 oh, I understand, so you are breaking the anvils when you seat them or when you extract them?
What is the name of that red round stick
How constant are they.
excellent use of easy to get materials...reloading process can definitely be made quicker though
Which matal to do cup primmer
Nice video.thought i m new about bullet and weapon, i just curious, how he shot without gun powder in bullet.it has just a primer.but primer for what ? Without gunpowder it has no use.lol.see,i firstly told i m new
I ask you about design of additional M4A1
I think you have come up with a great why of reloading primer s
If you save the original anvil, why not use the original cup?
I use a flat bottom punch of the right size to tap out the dent.
how would you homemade "Anvil"? If you wana try
Nice
I use this method for my reloads, it works ok, but everyone is out of small pistol primers...
Its 2021 and there are no small pistol primers to be found.
Is that a real gun or is it make of like newspaper? I'm so confused. It looks so real but it's like paper.
What is the red paper??
did you make your rifle out of paper?
