In 2007 my house burnt. Reloading friends came to help salvage what they could for me. Among items salvaged were bricks of large rifle primers. After leaving them in a dehumidified room for years and testing some, I started using them. ZERO failures in ~6 thousand fired. Down to the last two bricks. These bricks suffered more heat damage, distorting the plastic trays inside. Peal cardboard away and most primers just fall out. Tap on tray and a few more fall out. Twist tray and a few more fall out. See pictures...that is what won't come out. Camera flash makes them look different colors...they are all the same silver color. Plastic tray appears harder and less flexible from the heat and appears to have shrunk around the primers. Tried cutting the plastic with some tin snips (didn't work...plastic sorta twists in the snips). Tried prying out primers with a dental pick, but can't get pick inside the individual pockets. In the "old" days, I wouldn't bother, but with primers expensive and scarce....ANY IDEAS? Don't want to simply toss in trash. I am gonna do some wood burning in the pasture...could set them in the bottom of the wood pile before I light it.
