[QUOTE="Wraith Hunter, post: 1642300, member: 107141"] I have used 20 year old primers with great success. However, oil is a great way to make a primer inert. spraying WD-40 onto a primer will kill it if the lubricant gets to the active agent. One of the more common causes for hang fire is primer depth. If a primer is not fully seated into the primer pocket the firing pin usually deforms the primer but not to the point the anvil is fully engaged. [/QUOTE]
