Default False Primer plug

Just thought of something. Why doesnt anyone make a false 209 primer that goes into your breech plug and blocks off air from getting into your powder? Makes good sense to me.

For an easy home made product a simple ear plug would do good to keep moisture out.

Probably because its so easy to take the right size eraser off a pencil and stick it in there. Lee

Especially a used one with ear wax.....that should seal it up pretty good.

I use a fired primer to close mine up for the night.

FG - next time you have a thought - just keep it to yourself. (Typing this, I just can't stop laughing to myself.) I just couldn't let this opportunity slip by.
Gotcha!!
Now you owe me one.
