A friend of mine passed on to me today primers that his great-uncle had left to him (along with an entire gun collection, reloading equipment, etc). There are approximately 5000 primers. I would guess theat these are at least 20 years old, and maybe more based on the look of the boxes.
My question is - do primers "keep"? Do these have value? I know that primers are really hard to find right now. But frankly I know little about reloading. I see some of these referred to as "large pistol" and "small pistol", and others as "No 1 1/2" and as "No 2 1/2".
Thanks in advance for your comments.
