Storing Primers - in a pill bottle? - Page 2

Ahh ... it ain't, 'jiggling' that you have to worry about - It's static electricity!

I don't like the ammo can idea, either.

I keep my primers in a pill bottle, and my bullets in a Big Gulp cup. Any extra powder goes in a Red Man pouch. I like to stick a big scoop of 4895 between my cheek and gum before I leave the trailer. I do my drive-by down by the Hatfield spread, and catch the spent brass on the fly with my teeth. I swallow the empties to conceal the evidence. Then its time to take swig of bullets from the Big Gulp, washed down with a handful of primers. By the time I get back to the trailer, I'm crappin' some of the finest reloads this side of the Mason-Dixon line. If I eat my wife's Jello-Marshmallow pie before the episode, I can out-pace my cousin's Dillon press.

Wow! I don't think I'd want to be standing next to you when you, 'break wind'.

(I was going to ask what, 'kind' of reloads you're turning out; but, then, I decided not to be crude!)

I sure was glad when they came out with them "Lever-Evolution" bullets. Before that, I used to have to drive back to the trailer real careful so that all the shakin' while I was goin' over the washboard out on the gravel main road didn't set off a chain reaction in the discharge chute. That'll ruin the upholstery in your truck. Upsets the dogs back there in the bed too.

OK, WEG, that's just wrong.

Funny as hell, but wrong.
