A SHORT PRIMER ON THE PRIMER
Wednesday, June 23, 2021, 13:57

I just finished reading A SHORT PRIMER ON THE PRIMER by Mic McPherson. It is 97 pages of packed information on everything I did not know about primers. Taking what happens step by step from the firing pin impacting the primer, Mic gives a clear and concise picture of what primers do and don't do. Along the way I learned more about how they actually work and why. And a lot of ideas about primers that prove to be myths.

A lot of the work was done with the help of Bill Falin who then was chief ballistician at Accurate Arms. The data in this book is something to behold. Tried and proven, it is something I will be reading again. I believe every handloader ought to own a copy.
