Priming Metallic Cartridges
Priming is done in a machine called the primer. For outside priming a percussion-cap is used, made in the ordinary way. Priming of fulminate of mercury should not under any circumstances, be deposited on brass, as it forms an amalgam, and rapidly deteriorates the metal and priming. Shellac varnish is used to protect the surface of brass. No injurious deterioration from this cause l has been noticed in the use of copper.
