Oil Vs. Primers Review:

I've seen this on The Gunthing and a few other sites. Why would you soak a primer in any solvent or oil? Drop a cartridge in it? They are ment to penetrate and break up residue. I am not in no way trying to dog you, but why? Jim

We Do have a handloading forum, so let's just slide this thread into it.

If I'm not mistaken, the "point" is "will oil kill a primer?"...

If that's what's being asked - the answer is NO. I once said (on another forum) that I'd heard that oil would not kill primers (the discussion was about how to kill a primer to remove a stuck round from a chamber safely).

One of the other members wondered if this were true and conducted tests confirming that even a 20-minute oil soak didn't kill a shotgun shell primer.

That all being said, I think oil penetration would eventually degrade priming compounds (to not work), but I would NEVER count on such a thing working in short-order.
