verhoositzOld Primer ??s
I was given some 5-10 year old rifle primers and had some ??s
Are primers that old, that have been stored clean and dry in a cabinet drawer but in a garage in Texas worth using?
What is the performance difference between a Remington 9 1/2M and Federal 215's or WWLRM's? The recipes I want to use on a 300WMg call for the Fed's & WW's but they ain't none to found in my area. I can occasionlly find some CCI's in both Mag and Std's but I have had a long history of primer failure over the years with CCI's and don't trust them.
Same questions concerning WWLR's for use in a 270 or 6.5x55?

Use the old primers, they will work fine. All the primers you mentioned above should work fine also, Except for the CCI Standard, use mag. primers. I would look more at your choice of powders than primer brands.
