Several years ago, I purchased around 20K primers that were stored in an ammo can in their original packages at a garage sale. They were at least 40-50 years old. WW, Fed, & Cascade. I have since used most most of them and can not remember any failures.
At the same time, I purchased around 10 Lbs of old Hercules powder; Unique, Bullseye, & 2400 when they were sold in the square metal cans. I inspected the powder and used it to reload 38s & 357. All worked as good as new.
