Old Primers

[brucin 923]

I found a box of Winchester-Western large rifle primers (k4009p no. 8 1/2-120 in my garage in a box the previous owner left. They are quite old as I have owned the place for 15 years and just got around to looking at the stuff left up in the loft.

 

They appear to have never been wet, just damp from the garage. 

 

I know nothing about reloading. Is there any chance that they are still good?

they should be fine, assuming conditions were ok.

 

load one in a case and try it out.

I have no reloading equipment. I would be wiling to give them to anyone who wanted to meet me at my convienience in the northern Morris county area. I want to keep the boxes though an try and sell them on Ebay.
