ekraus Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Just used up a box of primers and was looking through my stock to use the oldest first and found 7K of Winchester SPP that I didn't date when I bought the. I managed to get Federal, CCU and Remington to give me the dates of manufacture. But Winchester said "there is no shelf life and the manufacture dates are propriety". That's bad karma! Makes me not want to ever buy there components again. Anyway here are the Lot 3's RDL070G RBL030G RBL070G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I've had Win primers for years, and had zero issues with them, whether they be 1 year old or 10 years old. Why are you complaining about primers when you haven't even had any problems with them yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltdmstr Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Conventional primers don't degrade over time if stored properly. And, about the only thing that will harm them is moisture. So, there's really no need to worry about expiration dates. Lead-free primers are a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmer Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 White box, Blue box, Red box, nickel plated, plain copper??? I’m still using some “Clinton” era and even earlier primers with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
