I have been an avid hunter since I was 9 yrs old, I killed my first bear at age 9, I have never missed a hunting season yet and I am 40 years old now, I lived and hunted in western Wa all my life up until 2 years ago, I moved to Idaho and now hunt here. I have handloaded since I was 14 or 15 yrs old and I have never used any kind of primer sealant, I've looked at it and thought it wouldn't hurt anything but have never done it. If anyone knows western Wa it rains a lot there! I and my equipment have been as soaked as you could possibly get without actually swimming and I have NEVER had a misfire, I have been just as wet here in idaho a couple times now also, I use one strip of black tape over my muzzle and one around the base to help secure it. I have killed my deer every year and a few elk. I am not saying its a bad idea to use the primer sealer, so far I havnt had a reason to use it.
