Thumbs up Primers 65-70yr old

FWIW, I have a few .222 reloads left from the 1950s, and they still shoot dead on at 200yd. They are 65-70yr old. And of course, I culled any with cracked necks and such. They have just set in a drawer inside the house with no special care. The .222 SPs did grow some hair/fuzz on the exposed lead, but still worked/fired.

BTW, these were not the "first" reloads of the pictured brass.
