I have been watching this forum for a while now. This is my first post

I have been reloading now for about 4 months. I friend of mine gave me all his old reloading equipment. He also gave me some old Winchester and CCI primers. I didn't use the primers at first, because he kept them in his garage and they looked tarnished on the copper side. Now Im almost out of primers, due to the primer shortage. I was wondering if they are safe to use. They are still in the boxes, but they were stored in a non control climate for about 8 years. They didn't come in contact with any chemicals or water. Are they safe to use?
