PRIMERS AND POWDER
• Store primers and powder beyond the reach of
children and away from heat, dampness, open flames
and electrical equipment. Avoid areas where static
electricity is evident.
• DO NOT use primers of unknown identity.
• Dispose of unknown primers in accordance with
applicable regulations.
• Keep primers in the original factory container until
ready to use. Return unused primers to the same
factory packaging for safety and to preserve their
identity. Primer packaging is designed to provide safe
storage.
• DO NOT store primers in bulk. The blast of just a few
hundred primers is sufficient to cause serious injury to
anyone nearby.
• DO NOT force primers. Use care in handling primers.
• DO NOT have more than one can of powder on the
bench at one time. Powder cans should be stored
away from the bench to avoid picking up the wrong
one.
• DO NOT use any powder unless its identity is
positively known. The only positive identification is the
manufacturer's label on the original canister. Discard
all mixed powders and those of uncertain identity.
• If you use a powder measure, replace the lids on both
the powder hopper and powder can after the powder
hopper has been filled.
• When using a powder measure, settle the powder in
the powder hopper before charging any cases. Throw
and check the weight of at least ten charges. This will
assure you that the correct powder charge is being
thrown.
• When you finish a reloading session, pour any
remaining powder back into its original factory
container. This will preserve the identity and shelf life
of the powder.
• DO NOT smoke while reloading.
RECORD KEEPING
• Keep complete records of reloads. Apply a descriptive
label to each box showing the date produced, and the
primer, powder and bullet used. Labels for this
purpose are packed with SPEER bullets.
• Never attempt to guess at the identity of your
ammunition.
