About Our Primers

The development of Spectre technologies started over a decade ago. Originally geared towards other defense applications, it became apparent that its biggest impact could be within the realm of ammunition. The removal of lead from consumer products has become the modern-day norm, yet very little progress has been made with regards to primers. Upon ignition, the compound within a traditional primer turns into a fine aerosol which disperses microscopic lead particles into the environment and airways of the shooter and any nearby observers. Our groundbreaking design and manufacturing process completely eliminates this hazard. With no lead, indoor or close quarters training becomes far safer and there is no longer a worry about long term contamination of ranges.

What Sets Us Apart

Optimized for Shelf-Life

More Info

Organic compounds always degrade over time.  Our patented design mitigates this by completely removing and replacing them with stable base metals and metal oxides.  The highly precise deposition process ensures that unintentional reactions within the energetic compound do not occur until desired, resulting in enhanced lifespan.  Initial tests have shown no significant energy loss after 15 years, and we expect future testing to prove this out to several decades’ worth of shelf life.

Toxin-Free

More Info

The industry standard product is manufactured using volatile toxic substances such as lead styphnate which pose risks to workers and the environment. Current lead-free primers have removed the lead but replaced it with different volatile toxic organic compounds that are still dangerous to workers. These compounds, while lead free, have decreased performance and shelf-life when compared to the legacy design. Spectre primers offer a solution. They deliver superior performance and extended shelf-life while remaining completely non-toxic. 

Better Performance

More Info

Spectre primers revolutionize ammunition reliability and accuracy by reducing primer performance variability from 350% to just 10%. This groundbreaking improvement ensures consistent powder ignition, leading to predictable bullet velocities and trajectories for enhanced accuracy and shooter confidence.

Reduced Manufacturing Costs

More Info

By seamlessly integrating PVD coating systems with custom-made cup forming systems, our automated manufacturing process significantly cuts labor costs through robotic system implementation and production task optimization. This innovative approach enhances efficiency, reduces production time, lowers storage costs through improved inventory management, and maximizes cost savings with strategic transportation planning.
