Rimfire priming compound is not available to the general public for a very good reason- and that is the same reason I will NOT describe how to make it. Priming compounds are extremely pressure sensitive explosives, SO sensitive that they cannot be handled when they are dry. A tiny amount of the priming compound, in the form of a wet paste, is inserted into the empty cartridge case, which is spun, forcing the priming material into the fold of the cartridge case head. The material is dried, and once dry, cannot be handled without a strong likelihood that it will detonate. Priming compound work is perhaps the most dangerous aspect of an ammunition plant. Even with very specific controls, there have been accidents involving priming compound that have killed workers.
