They should be just fine, never found one "too old" yet.


Remember, forgivness is easier to get than permission.

primers last a long time 50+ years if stored right.

I think I own some primers newer than 1980 models, but I don't think I've used any of them yet. I'm still working on my supply of 1968 and 1973 primers (which have been stored just about every place but under water.)

The title of the post is old primers. 1980 is not old.
