  Copper primed cases might be mercuric.

  I believe copper primers were used in conjunction with black powder loads. They are not as powerful as later nickel plated primers. Nearly all the ammo I have tried had dead primers.

  No, I don't know what those are. I had heard that copper-colored primers were mercuric.

  The internet said Styrofoam was developed in 1954 and the US supposedly switched mostly away from mercuric priming decades before that.
