PMC'S NEW HEAVY METAL FREE TRULY NON-TOXIC PRIMERS ARE NOW AVAILABLE IN 10 SIZES FOR RIFLE, PISTOL & SHOTGUN

PMC is pleased to announce the arrival of completely Heavy Metal Free Primers for the "green ammo" market. The reason for this designation is that rather than simply being "lead-free" these primers contain absolutely no heavy metals that are found in a number of the other primers currently available in the lead-free market.

This patented product is unique in that it closely approximates all the features of standard non-corrosive primers. By this we mean, it has a 25-year shelf life, it has no moisture or hygroscopic problems, no special handling is required and it meets OSHA and EPA standards. In addition, the primers withstand all adverse temperature and humidity storage problems that have plagued the industry. They have uniformity, reliability and sensitivity equal to the best standard noncorrosive primers.

Spectrographic analysis of the exhaust from these primers shows that the only residual is a small trace of potash, which is completely harmless. One client, who didn't believe that the moisture issue had been solved, immersed a tray of primers in a bucket of water over night. In the morning he dried them off, loaded them and all of them fired properly. Sometimes the simplest tests are the best.

The primers also contain no aluminum, iron, boric acid or glass that is found in some lead-free formulas. Therefore, we can safely say that no barrel damage, scorching or erosion will occur.

These are the first commercially available Heavy Metal Free primers. We are pleased to offer them in small and large pistol and rifle, both standard and magnum as well as shotshell. Plans for .50 caliber BMG are in the works for later this year.
