    You ever come across something, while looking for something else, that years ago you knew you had but just kinda forgot about?:lol2:

    Found these in an old box:

    Also in the box, 500 55g .223, 300 125g .357, 200 .45, 100 .44, and some brass. Too bad there was no powder in there!

    Great find.

    I have boxes of primers from about the same era. Similar price. :)

    question, whats the shelf life? Moisture is not going to get to primers that old?

    Those aren't that old.

    I have some that are under $10 per 1000. :)

    Well, I keep a de-humidifier running 24/7/365 in my workshop.
    I've got a little over a brick of CCI Large Rifle primers left, and they're still 100%.
    I bought these in 1979. (I gave a good friend a couple hundred and he's lighting off '06 handloads with 'em.)
