Primers older than I

[cav has been]

Whilst digging through the primer cache in search of large rifle primers to light off some 308 sub-loads, I discovered 2K old Winchester 120 primers. Now I suspect some of you young'uns have never spilled primers from a wooden tray but that's the way things worked at my house this morning. Anyway these were given to me about forty years ago and they were old then. To cut to the chase, loads using these primers shot to the same point of impact out to 250 yds. as those loaded with Fed 210's. My price per shot has now dropped noticeably.

Would you be willing to part with one of those wooden trays and cover? It would look pretty cool next to my collection of Herters Wasp Waist bullets.

I have primers from '93. Still work just fine.

I'm guessing these are from the fifties,sixties at the latest. You would be welcome to a tray or two. I will work at salvaging a cover for you. They don't just slide apart freely. Stuck they are.

Been out of the loop for awhile. PM sent. Thanks.

Got it out today. It's all in the hands of the pony express now.

And I thank you. Expect a return package.
