OK, I'm not going to jump into the load comments other then to say don't start with maximum loads!

But, as to the old primers, I have been given a bunch of Winchester Primers old enough to have been packaged in wood trays.

I have been buying reloading components since the 60s and can only remember buying primers in plastic trays.

However, I have tested some of these primers and they go bang with great gusto!

At this point in time, I will not use them for critical loads, but have little hesitation using them for practice loads.

Providing the primers have been stored in anything like reasonable conditions they should be fine.
