We recently exchanged pistol primers for rifle primers we needed. Snow Published Jun 30, PM. The self-contained metallic cartridge is one the most significant innovations in the history of firearms. Any recent graduate of a hunter-ed program should be able to rattle off this information because illustrations showing the component pieces of cartridges have been a part of the curriculum for decades.
Of the four building blocks of a cartridge, the primer is the least understood by a long shot. Asked to explain what a primer does, shooters often describe it as akin to a match that lights the powder at the tail end of the cartridge, initiating the process that sends the bullet along its merry way, or to the spark of a spark plug in the cylinder of a motor that ignites the compressed mixture of fuel and air.
Neither analogy is correct. The function of the primer is more complex than either a match lighting a fuse or a spark plug firing. That mixture, known as primer compound, is the most dangerous substance in the world of firearms and ammunition manufacturing.
The specific ingredients in primer compounds vary from one make to another. But the general formulas have remained remarkably stable over the decades, mostly because ammo makers—and, more to the point, their customers—are stubbornly reluctant to tinker with any recipe that deviates from the tried and true. Above all, primers need to be consistent. Despite this conservative bent, primer technology is experiencing a revolution right now.
The latest generation of primers has been cooked up by the engineers at Federal Ammunition. The new primer is called Catalyst, and it represents an improvement over traditional primer compounds in several ways. Before getting to the merits of Catalyst primers, however, we still need to answer the question posed above. What exactly do primers do?
