Primers for Reloading

Primers are essential components for reloading firearms, providing the necessary spark to reload ammunition. The type of primer that may be used depends on the firearm, namely its caliber. Primers come in a variety of sizes, so it is important to be familiar with your gun’s caliber.

Reloading primers are used by handloaders who assemble their own cartridges to provide the initiating spark in firing a cartridge. Primers come in many types and sizes such as small pistol primers, large rifle primers, and magnum primers. Primers can be used to reload any type of ammunition such as rifle, handgun, or shotgun ammo. All primers are not created equal, so it is important to read the manufacturer’s instructions carefully before reloading your firearm’s cartridges with primers.
