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

 Place the empty cases on a Steel plate. Cover them with a heavy cast Iron
Dutch Oven or other heavy container that will contain the cases as they fly.
Place the whole on a Propane burner outdoors and count the pops as the
primers fire from the heat. ( Evil Grin ) This method will likely blow the
primers out of the cases so you may have to reseat them but it is a
guaranteed method of deactivation.

   Or, buy a can of LPS 2 non-drying penetrating lubricant and put enough of
it in the case to fill it 1/4 full. Allow to stand full of lube overnight.
Empty the lube out of one of the cases and wash with Alcohol then blow dry
with compressed air. Put that case into a pistol and see if it has a killed
primer by attempting to fire it. If it fires you haven't soaked enough oil
into the primer yet so leave another day.
