PRIMERS AND POWDER
•
Store primers and powder beyond the reach of children and
away from heat, dampness, open flames and electrical equip-
ment. Avoid areas where static electricity is evident.
•
Do not use primers of unknown identity. Scrap 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 hun-
dred 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 manufact-
urer’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 pre-
serve 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.
Because RCBS has no control over the type and condition of fire-
arms used, components selected, assembly of those components
