OOPS!

Well, this is embarrassing.

We don't seem to have an article of the day for this date. Maybe you could help us out and make or suggest one.
(It's fun! trust us.)

What else happened today
  • 1866Edward M. Boxer, of the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, England, receives his patent for the Boxer primer. Boxer primers are similar to Berdan primers, except the anvil is a separate piece that sits in the primer cup. Because of this, the primer pocket has the flash-hole centered, which makes little or no difference to the performance of the round, but it makes fired primers vastly easier to remove for reloading.
