Primer question

[abbafandr]

I acquired some of these CCI primers.  Don't where they came from or how they were stored; just that they are old.  Should I try them or not?

If you are unsure, load em up and use them for practice. They will either go bang or not.

I have boxes like that from years ago... maybe decades ago... when I load them they work fine.  Probably best used for practice, though.

[AHI]

Load away.

70’s-80’s I still have some that work fine. I did have a run from that era that were a little larger than other CCI and WW and were a bit harder to seat.

Thanks for the answers, I have loaded them and will give a try in a practice session.  Let you know what happens.

Any update on how they worked or didn’t? I saw someone local trying to sell some VINTAGE primers and they didn’t look stored very well. The cardboard sleeve looked pretty neat up

Oh geez, think I can recall that packaging in my Grandpa's shop back in the day.  Desperate times eh?  

Storage conditions are everything when buying primers that um...far out, man.
