Primers Ammunition primers are a vital component of modern firearms, playing a key role in igniting the gunpowder within a cartridge to propel a bullet down the barrel. This article explores the function of ammunition primers, their essential components, and the intricate process involved in their production. At the heart of an ammunition primer lies a small quantity of sensitive explosive material, engineered to ignite upon impact from a firing pin or similar force. Positioned at the base of the cartridge case, the primer typically consists of a small metal cup that is either crimped or pressed into place. When struck, the primer ignites the gunpowder inside the cartridge case, generating the energy required to drive the bullet out of the barrel. An ammunition primer comprises three primary components: the primer cup, the primer mix, and the anvil. The primer cup, usually made from brass or a similar metal, is shaped into a small cup designed to hold the primer mix. This primer mix is a sensitive explosive material made from a precise combination of chemicals such as lead styphnate, barium nitrate, and antimony sulfide. The anvil, a small metal piece located at the base of the primer cup, aids in transferring the firing pin's force to the primer mix. The primer mix is the most critical element of an ammunition primer. Composed of several sensitive chemicals blended in exact proportions, it is designed to ignite when struck by the firing pin. Lead styphnate serves as the primary explosive, responsible for creating the initial spark that ignites the rest of the mixture. Barium nitrate acts as an oxidizer, sustaining the burn, while antimony sulfide functions as a fuel, helping to maintain the reaction. Producing ammunition primers is a complex process that demands specialized equipment and expertise. The first step involves forming the primer cups, typically by shaping small pieces of brass or similar metal into cup shapes using a series of dies and presses. These cups are then meticulously cleaned and inspected for defects. The next phase is creating the primer mix, which is generally carried out in a separate facility under stringent safety protocols. The chemicals are carefully measured and combined in precise proportions to ensure reliable ignition when struck. The resulting mixture is formed into small pellets or granules that can be loaded into the primer cups. Finally, the primer cups and primer mix are assembled to create the finished ammunition primer. Automated machinery typically handles this process, placing the primer mix into the cup before adding the anvil. The assembled primers are then rigorously inspected and tested to ensure they ignite reliably when struck by a firing pin. There a seven primer sizes which differ by use (pistol vs. rifle ammunition), size (small vs. large) and force (normal vs. magnum): SP = Small Pistol Primers | SPM = Small Pistol Magnum Primers | LP = Large Pistol Primers | LPM = Large Pistol Magnum Primers | SR = Small Rifle Primers | LR = Large Rifle Primers | LRM = Large Rifle Magnum Primers. The differences between standard and magnum primers are not always clear. Some magnum primers may have a longer priming stream duration due to a different mix, while others simply contain more priming compound. Rifle primers generally contain more priming compound and have thicker cups than pistol primers.

FAQs / Help Please check our FAQs first in case of questions. Why do you discontinue the old site xxl-reloading.com? Our old site xxl-reloading.com was built on a technology that does not allow us to add new features. The old system makes it also very difficult for us to add new calibers, bullets, and powders - it just can't deal with the amount of data. We have received many suggestions over the last years on how to improve our site and what features to add. Unfortunately, this is impossible with the old system. Hence, we decided to launch a new website under xxlreloading.com (very similar, we know). We will continue to run the old website for a while to fulfill the access licenses that have already been purchased. New access licenses will be sold here. Can I cancel my subscription? You can manage your subscription in your customer account. - Log in - Go to "My Subscriptions" - Click on the respective Subscription - click on "active" Then you can update the payment method or cancel your sbuscription.

Then please post your wish here. How can I bookmark a load, bullet, caliber, of powder? You can bookmark a load if you have a valid access license as shown in the following video: You can bookmark a caliber, bullet, and powder the same way - open the detailed page and click the "Bookmark" Button. Once you have bookmarked an item, you can manage it in your personal account under "My bookmarks": To delete a bookmark, caliber, or powder bookmark, click on the bookmark to get to the details page and then click the "Remove Bookmark" Button. Once you have bookmarked at least one caliber or bullet, you can use the filter section to filter our entire load data to match your bookmarks. Powder criteria to be listed in load tables Powders listed for a specific caliber and bullet combination need to deliver loads that meet the following criteria: Achieve Fill Rate > 80% and < 100% while not exceeding allowed pressure (loads below 80% or above 100% are typically considered unsafe). The thresholds for revolver and pistol loads are > 60% and < 100%. Pressure for loads < 90% of Max. Standardized Pressure (more details and instructions) Propellant Combustion for rifle loads > 90% (lower values typically lead to unsteady results and strong muzzle flash) Propellant Combustion for pistol/revolver loads > 80% (lower values typically lead to unsteady results and stronger muzzle flash) For subsonic loads other / in addition: Muzzle velocity for barrel length below the speed of sound Fill Rate > 50% Propellant Combustion > 75% Can I deviate from the load data? Our load data (maximum load) contains at least a 10% safety buffer in regards to the maximum allowed pressure for a specific caliber . Hence, our listed maximum loads might be lower than loads proposed by powder or bullet manufacturers who do not include such a safety buffer. Experienced reloaders can exceed the maximum loads at own risk but should watch out for signs indicating that the ammunition is experiencing over pressure: Difficult extraction: If the cartridge is difficult to extract from the chamber, it could be an indication of over pressure. This happens because the brass casing expands more than it should due to excessive pressure. Case head expansion: The base of the cartridge case will start to expand if the pressure inside the case is too high. Primer flattening: The primer on the back of the cartridge will start to flatten if the pressure inside the case is too high. Bulging or cracking of the case: The cartridge case may bulge or crack if the pressure inside the case is too high. This is a serious issue that can cause the firearm to malfunction or even explode. Hard recoil: If the recoil of the firearm is significantly harder than usual, it could be an indication of over pressure. Else the following applies: The charge (weight of the load) is the key driver for the maximum pressure achieved by a reloaded cartridge. However, there more factors and specifically those that influence the free combustion chamber volume. The general rule is: The lower the free combustion chamber volume, the higher the achieved pressure for an identical load, hence cases with a lower volume generate higher pressure. Hence, cartridges with lower overall length (OAL) in the same caliber and with the same bullet also create higher pressure because the bullet seating depth is higher and the free combustion chamber volume is lower. We provide for each load the underlying cartridge specifications: Bullet Length, Case Length, Cartridge Length / OAL, Seated Depth, Case Capacity. Reloaders might deviate at on own risk from our load data if their cartridge specifications deviate: Bullet Length: with all other specifications being equal, greater bullet length allows for less powder Case Length (l3): with all other specifications being equal, greater case length allows for more powder Cartridge Length / OAL: with all other specifications being equal, greater OAL allows for more powder Seated Depth: with all other specifications being equal, greater seated depth allows for less powder Case Capacity: with all other specifications being equal, greater case capacity allows for more powder The cartridge does not fit into my gun - is your C.O.L. data correct? We sometimes get notified that cartridges with an overall length (O.A.L or C.O.L. or L6) as specified on our pages do not fit into a particular magazine or gun. Please be aware of the following: Two institutions define cartridge specifications – the C.I.P. and SAAMI (see more here). They also define the maximum overall length of a cartridge in their technical data sheets. We respect these specifications and calculate our loads with an overall cartridge length which is always 1.5% lower than the maximum allowed length. Please contact the gun manufacturer if – based on these specifications – a cartridge does not fit into a chamber or magazine. In this case, the gun specifications are below the defined cartridge standards. You can deviate from our load data in such a rare case but please respect the following instructions. Why do our loads differ from other sources? We sometimes get asked why out loads differ from other sources. Often it is then the case, that different components are compared. Please make sure you compare apples with apples. If loads still deviate, it mostly can be attributed to the following reasons: Safety Buffer Our load data (maximum load) contains at least a 10% safety buffer in regards to the maximum allowed pressure for a specific caliber. Hence, our listed maximum loads might be lower than loads proposed by powder or bullet manufacturers who do not include such a safety buffer. Cartridge Dimensions The charge (weight of the load) is the key driver for the maximum pressure achieved by a reloaded cartridge. However, there are more factors specifically those that influence the free combustion chamber volume. The general rule is: The lower the free combustion chamber volume, the higher the achieved pressure for an identical load, hence cases with a lower volume generate higher pressure. Hence, cartridges with a lower overall length (OAL) in the same caliber and with the same bullet also create higher pressure because the bullet seating depth is higher and the free combustion chamber volume is lower. We provide for each load the underlying cartridge specifications: Bullet Length, Case Length, Cartridge Length / OAL, Seated Depth, Case Capacity. Reloaders might deviate at on own risk from our load data if their cartridge specifications deviate: Bullet Length: with all other specifications being equal, greater bullet length allows for less powder Case Length (l3): with all other specifications being equal, greater case length allows for more powder Cartridge Length / OAL: with all other specifications being equal, greater OAL allows for more powder Seated Depth: with all other specifications being equal, greater seated depth allows for less powder Case Capacity: with all other specifications being equal, greater case capacity allows for more powder Suboptimal / Incorrect Manufacturer Data The load data of the powder and bullet manufacturers sometimes simply contains errors or is based on suboptimal inputs (i.e. too little powder leading to a too low fill rate, too much powder, physically not fitting into the case mentioned). We usually inform them and started to document them in our forum for transparency. Errors in our Data We can not exclude to make mistakes. For example, we sometimes get incorrect bullet measures from manufacturers. With that, our load data can be incorrect because the calculated seating depth and free case volume are incorrect. Please contact us if you believe our load data is incorrect and let us know which source you exactly compare with which of our data. Why is a specific powder "missing"? The default load table for any bullet and caliber combination only shows powders that fulfill the following criteria. This criteria ensures a proper result and does not require to consider specifics such as using filler material. You can use the Personalized Load Calculator on a load page to show more powders and to adjust the load to your specific specifications. Ease the filters for Min Z (i.e. to a minimum of 70), safety buffer (i.e. to zero), and/or Min Fill Rate (i.e. 60%). Should your desired powder still not show up, then it is definitely not suitable for the specific caliber and powder combination. What is the personalized load calculator? Our personalized load calculator is live! Requirements: - you need to have a valid, paid access license - you need to be logged on If you fulfill the above requirements and navigate to any load, you find some tabs on the page and one labeled "Personalized Load Calculator": Here you can enter specific values for the following inputs and calculate the load table based on these specifications: Cartridge length / O.A.L. Case capacity Barrel Length Safety Buffer Powder conversion (z) Initially, our default values are set. Pick your own, specific values, click "Find Loads" and the system calculates your specific load details. Demo Video: What is the diary? How does it work? Requirements: You need an access license to use this feature. The diary is a new feature of our website. It allows you to save each of your specific loads with specific details such as actual case capacity or C.O.L. You can also create and manage "weapons" and associate your loads with a specific weapon. For the loads, you can also save an image of the actual performance/shooting result so that you can easily remember details later. To use the function, start as follows: Login in with your email and password In your account menu, go to "My Diary" There are 2 options to add a load to your diary as indicated in the video: on the bottom of the diary page 2. on a loads page for a specific bullet and caliber combination in the tab "Add specific load to diary" Every user can add up to 25 entries to the diary. You can share a specific load with the XXL community. To do so, check the "share" checkbox when editing or creating a load. It will then show up here. How can I delete an entry from the diary? Go to your diary. Click the specific entry to get to the detailed view. Scroll down to the section "delete" and click. Confirm to delete by clicking the delete button Impact of barrel length on muzzle velocity? It has often been debated how barrel length impacts projectile velocity at the muzzle. The general principle is clear: the longer the barrel, the higher the velocity and the kinetic energy. The pressure created by the powder explosion accelerates the projectile in the barrel. The longer the barrel, the more time and distance is available to accelerate the projectile and, hence, the muzzle velocity is higher with increasing barrel length. While the general principle is clear, we took a more scientific approach to determine this relationship in greater detail: We simulated the muzzle velocity for changing barrel length for two calibers (.308 Winchester and .300 Winchester Magnum) and the 50 most common propellants respectively. We then put the muzzle velocity (Vo) at 600mm / 23.6 barrel length to 100% and indexed the other numbers accordingly to this reference. Finally, we aggregated the values for all propellants for each caliber by taking the average. The results are as follows: If you shorten the barrel length of a .308 Win from 600mm / 23.6 to 300mm / 11.8, your muzzle velocity reduces by 25% to 75%. If you shorten the barrel length of a .300 Win Mag. from 600mm / 23.6 to 300mm / 11.8, your muzzle velocity reduces by 32% to 68%. The results are different because the must suitable powders for a .308 Win are faster burning than the most common powders for a .300 Win Mag. Hence, the accelerate the projectile faster. With the increasing use of silencers, barrel lengths vary significantly more. Our load data therefore indicates the relevant ballistic information for different barrel lengths.

About Us xxlreloading.com is a powerful tool for handloaders which offers extensive load data for bullets and powders of various brands and manufacturer in one place! Comfortably search an ever-expanding database of loads by using multiple filters and sorting criteria such as caliber, bullet weight, bullet diameter, bullet manufacturer or propellant. Re-loaders compare key characteristics of various loads for a specific bullet and caliber combination such as powder charge, load ratio, standard maximum pressure, velocity and powder conversion. Also see how loads perform for different barrel length which is particularly important for regions where silencers are used with shorter barrels. All the loads are developed and reviewed by our pro staff. They regularly add new loads to the database. History The ammunition shortage starting 2020 caught many hunters and shooters by surprise. This was even worse in Europe. As leading US manufacturers focused on their home market. The shortage quickly spilled over into ammunition components like bullets, primers and powders. What has been easily available before had suddenly lead times of over 12 months or was not available at all anymore. We - a group of enthusiastic American, French and German hunters, engineers, long range shooters and reloaders - were facing the same issue as many others and had to look for alternatives to our historically used components to reload our ammun ition. We quickly noticed that there was no tool or information available which really helped to identify and assess alternatives. This is when the idea about XXL Reloading was born. We started to operate in 2021 with two websites, xxl-relaoding.com and xxl-wiederlande.de. After collection vast feedback and experience, we decided to take our pages to a next level and setup a new site on a new system with many more functions and community options under this URL, xxreloading.com. Now let’s see where the journey takes us. Our vision is to become the go-to place for every reloader where he can find every information he needs. We also want to provide the largest database for loads covering all relevant caliber, bullets, and powders on the market. This can not be done manually. Hence we deploy highly sophisticated ballistics calculators that take all relevant aspects into consideration such as powder characteristics, bullets and cartridge dimensions. The underlying models are extensively covered in the relevant literature. The specifics are to calibrate these models to real tests in order to improve the accuracy of the models. We have worked with one of the most well-known experts in this space to fine-tune our models and calculator for best results. Other existing ballistic calculators on the market are often developed based on very old programming languages and limited calculation capabilities of historic computers. Our models run on high end cloud servers which allow us to run many more iterations for more accurate results! Our Vision 4374360 Loads 4321 Bullets 371 Calibers 235 Powders Team We are engineers, hunters, shooters and reloading enthusiasts and we operate one of the most powerful ballistics calculators.
