Primer test. Attempt to deactivate primers over a 5 day period. Test primers were Winchester Large Rifle. Cases were primed 30-06 brass. Treatment was done by partially filling the cases with each fluid, then placing the cases in a 50 round plastic Dillon ammon box . I treated the primers at 12:00 noon Central time, then conducted a firing test each day at 12:00 noon. One set of 5 cases every 24 hours until complete.

Federal 210 Gold Match:


Treatment Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5
Liquid Wrench Dead Dead
WD-40 Dead Dead
Rem Oil Dead Dead
Dillon Case Lube Dead Dead
Tap Water Dead Dead
Alcohol Dead Dead
Kroil Dead Dead

On Day 2 I also primed a case, gave it a shot of WD-40, waited about 10 seconds and then chambered and attempted to fire it. It was dead. It appears that Federal primers are easily deactivated, where Winchesters were much more resistant.
