I have a case of Federal Small Rifle Magnum primers that that a friend who passed away had stored in his basement for many years. Do you recall what years Federal packaged primers in red & white cartons?
I believe the more recent red n white boxes w/o the black/gold banner were from 1994 to 2013 or or so:
Is that your recollection or did you get that information somewhere?
The lot number is 4B3673
I peaked inside the flap of the case and the boxes are actually red and dark-blue/black with white lettering.
I found the following description:
If I'm reading the information correctly then what I have was produced in 1983.
I agree !! I Purchased a hand operated vacuum sealer and bags for that purpose.If you think that storing primers may be an issue try using a vacumn sealer. Tried this on some that i had about 12 years ago and opened them up about 4 months ago and they all worked.

whyJust don't vacuum seal powder for any length of time.
