Loading up some 7.62x54r rounds for just some casual shooting, so I am using salvaged primers - i.e. primers I punched ouot of other rounds that were unshootable for one reason or another.
I fumble-fingered the primer getting it into the installation cup, and it bounced around a few times....then hit the floor and rolled under the bench. And it's the last primer of the batch.
Dangit.
I crawl around under there with a flashlight looking, because, hey, it's a primer. Probably worth $20 these days.
And I find it !
Sort of...
Looks like it's missing something. The anvil fell out when it bounced around. I have no idea where it is...
crawl around more, turn off the lights and hold the flashlight parallel to the floor....
Lo ! What is this ?
I found another primer ! a complete one this time ! Woo-Hoo !
But there's still an anvil down there lurking in the dark amongst the other detritus...
This is gonna bug me.
