The category of '''handloading items''' regroups every type of item that is useful for '''handloading'''.
There are five six types of handloading items: '''Kits''', '''primers''', '''cases and hulls''', '''wads''' , '''powders''', and '''projectiles'''.
= Primers =
A '''primer'' is a small, cylindrical, button-shaped object that is found at the base of a complete round of ammunition. Primers contain a small charge of shock-sensitive compound. When struck by a firing pin, the primer compound release heat, which ignites the powder and in turn generates the energy necessary to push the bullet (or projectiles) out of the barrel. There are six types of primers, all standardized by size: '''Small pistol (SP)''', '''Shotshell (SS)''', '''Large pistol (LP)''', '''Large rifle (LR)''', '''Large rifle magnum (LRM)''', and '''Machine gun (MG)'''. Primers can be found for sale at gun shops in boxes of 50. (wip: table, should have cost per unit, cost per box, and compatible calibers)
