I have some old Fed 215 primers that were given to me, they are old, and I am not sure where they were stored, Should I use them? | ||

I`d load a few and see how they do. I recently used over a hundred small pistol primers my dad found in his basement a year or two ago. They were leftover from the early 70s when I quit going to his place to load my ammo, all fired fine. I wouldn`t use them for hunting or defence ammo though, just to be safe. ------------------------------------ The trouble with the Internet is that it's replacing masturbation as a leisure activity. ~Patrick Murray "Why shouldn`t truth be stranger then fiction?

if they've been stored reasonably I'd not hesitate to use primers 40 years old.....probably a lot more... /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."
