lawndart? about new primer and bullet sealant.
This may be new or old news. Black Hills Ammunition is now using an anaerobic, weak glue for sealing primers and bullets. (For Them) a machine squirts a small amount of a weak anaerobic glue around the primer (your choice of color), and a colorless version of the same glue around the base of the bullet.
The material wicks its way into the primer/case joint or bullet/case joint. Everything deep in the joint immediately takes a set. That portion still exposed to air is simply wiped off.
Quite a slick way to go (I think).
Does anyone know who makes this system? It would be just perfect for Safari ammunition.
Please do not tell me that I do not need to seal ammunition. I am simply wondering if anyone has a thought as to whom might make this system.
Lock-Tite (under new ownership), and 3M come to mind, but I do not really know..
Many thanks for your help.

N51lDr1v3rI use this on the ammo I want to seal ammo.
I do believe hunting and home defense ammo SHOULD be sealed. Especially when its going to be in humid climate.

Jim C. <><Okay, N51 and Bob, please tell us if the sealing stuff you use smells like women's fingernail polish?

lawndartYep,
Makron and Goerge & Roy's are both nail polish. If you thin them with "Nail Polish Thinner", they stretch a lot further, and penetrate better.
I am hoping to find a lead on the anaerobic glue system; similar to the Locktite 290 and Black Max that I have used on rifles.
Thanks for everyone's help.
