I'm hoping he can identify through credit card. I doubt very much that the person that loaded these has a manufacturing license. If he has one, I think he should turn it in before he hurts someone. As a couple of you have mentioned, these shouldn't be fired. By the way, it's all flake. If my guy doesn't want them (seems to be about 500) I'm going to pull the bullets, de-prime them and save the bullets (after separation), cases and primers.Sound as if your buddy bought some noncombustible components. I wonder who "remanufactured" them? I would pull the bullets, ditch the powder and primers, and reuse the bullets and cases. The primers are probably fine, but I like to use known components in my loads.
I’ve reseated primers and they have always worked. But I have had a few that were deformed by the depriming step and I chose not to use those.I have never had a live primer go off while depriming and do not know for sure whether the primer is harmed or changed in any way by doing it. It probably is not, but I have made a practice of never seating a primer twice. Once a primer, live or spent, has been removed from a case, it goes in the trash.
