How is ammo made?

A metal cartridge case is formed into shape by machinery. In centerfire ammo, a primer is press fitted into the primer pocket.

The term is cartridge- that is a cartridge case, powder, primer, and bullet (that's the part that comes out of the barrel) It is extremely dangerous to attempt to remove a live primer from a loaded cartridge. Once the primer has been fired, reloaders use a tool called a deprimer to push the old primer out from the inside- but pushing on a LIVE primer will almost certainly make it fire. Very unsafe, please do not fool with that.
