I was given a very large cardboard box of scrapped, new Cheddite hulls, years ago, that were rejected by the Estate factory and thrown out. Those which had made it through most of the loading process, and then found to be substandard or damaged, had been cut open and the components salvaged by Estate. Many are brand new primed hulls. I have been salvaging the Cheddite primers over the years, as needed. Didn't know how well they would work after being "punched" out of the hulls and seated in another hull, but they have worked just fine. No problems with them backing out, or not being tight enough. I didn't know, when they were given to me, how valuable those primers would one day be!
