Re: How-to permanently deactivate center-fire amunition primers?

You'll probably have to re-polish the cases after this, but if the primers
are swaged in tightly enough (or if they're part of the cartridge), then
heating until the primer fires will work.

If the primer isn't swaged tightly in the cartridge, it will blow itself out
of the hole when it fires.

Mike?  Would a solvent de-bond the primer layer?

I doubt if engine heat would ever cause a primer to fire.  Exhaust heat
would, but I think not 'normal' engine heat.
