•
Never attempt to seat or reseat a primer in a loaded round.
•
Store primers and powder beyond the reach of children and away
from heat, dampness, open flames and electrical equipment.
•
DO NOT use primers of unknown identity. Scrap unknown primers in
accordance with applicable regulations.
•
Keep primers in original factory container until ready to use. Return
unused primers to the same factory packaging for safety and to
preserve their identity.
•
DO NOT store primers in bulk. The blast of just a few hundred primers
is sufficient to cause serious injury to anyone nearby.
•
DO NOT force primers. Use care in handling primers.
•
DO NOT use any powder unless its identity is positively known.
Discard all mixed powders and those of uncertain or unknown 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.
•
Before charging cases, settle the powder in the powder hopper. Throw
and check the weight of at least ten charges. This will assure you
that the correct powder charge is being thrown.
•
After a reloading session ends, pour the remaining powder back in
its original factory container. This will preserve the identity and shelf
life of the powder.
•
DO NOT smoke while handling powder or primers.
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.
