Pulled lots of bullets. Cases,with primers, spent or live, tossed in same batch for cleaning.

Never, ever paid attention when loading, spent or live. Still trying to get a detonation.

I can deal with the loss or "expense" of a primer that didn't make it in to ammunition but what I cannot accept is throwing explosive little buttons in to the trash that have the potential of starting a fire inside a garbage truck. So no, I don't throw them in the trash and I haven't done that even once since I started in 1988.

I have a dedicated plastic jar( small ) that I throw all my live primers in and fill it with WD-40 to kill them .
