good guess... probably late 80's if I had to guess ( the large pistol magnum primers were some I inherited from my FIL ) but I started reloading in the mid 80's ( those other white boxes I bought back when )... never had a misfire, ( even on a box of really really old pre CCI small pistol primers I loaded a bunch of 32 S&W with... price on the box was $5.00 for 1000 ) but, they've always been stored in an air conditioned house
