Spent Primers
 
 Does anyone save them? Or reuse them?

I have a 5 gal. bucket that catches all my spent primers. Damaged, unusable brass, and spent rimfire brass goes in there too, and when it get's full, I'll sell it for scrap brass...  I rtead an article about "survival reloading" where used primers were "regenerated" and reused but it was an involved process with only fair results. Not for me. ;D

I don't currently save them as they are not a high cost by comparison to most of the other components at 3-4 cents each.  There's a YouTube video of a guy reloading the primers using compound made from strike anywhere match tips.  ;)
