[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 386249, member: 9215"] "Throw away your old primers. I would bury them. They might be good but you never know. Why waste time, effort and money in the event they are degraded. Get new ones, they are very cheap. " Goodness. I still have a few hundred WWII surplus primers, they still work as well as any new ones. Primers can last a LONG time if stored anywhere near properly - and that has a lot of latitude. If your old manual includes the powders you wish to use it's as dependable as any newer ones. The common idea that cannister powders have changed over time are incorrect. The front part of the book usually has newby instructions and that hasn't changed a bit since '77. Don't forget going to grandpa himself for help, he likely knew what the he77 he was doing and a lot of people on the web don't. [/QUOTE]
