This guy on Youtube made a video where he took some "fired" Large Pistol primers and removed the anvil. He took some powder he scraped from "strike anywhere" matches and made a slurry with acetone. After hammering the "dent" out of the primer cup he doped it with the compound slurry he made. The acetone evaporated and left behind the powder. I don't remember if he reinstalled the anvil wet or dry. Then he loaded it into a .45 ACP case and fired it over a chronograph with a standard ball load. They shot fine, just a few for proof it COULD be done in a most dire and extreme situation.

Another video and now a marketed kit showed reloading .22 LR and .22 WMR rimfire cases! It's amazing what a man can do. Ditto this nut making a 12 ga. shotgun from a 3/4 pieve of conduit and a 1"
