A process for producing lead styphnate, which process comprises adding of an aqueous solution of lead nitrate with stirring to an aqueous solution of magnesium styphnate, the temperature being maintained above 40.degree.C, and the process being carried out in the presence of a suspension of fine lead styphnate crystals. The lead styphnate may be used as an initiating explosive in priming compositions, particularly for sports ammunition cartridges. |
