Thought you guys might be interested, I shot some .308 handloads yesterday that were made with RWS primers from 1973. Got some decent, under 1/2 MOA groups from 300 yards (WW cases, 748 powder, Nosler 168 J4's). No misfires, they still work!

Once.

I'm sorry Ned, I couldn't resist - I read the title of this thread and I started thinking I must be doing something wrong if you are getting more than one bang out of each primer.

My primer life expectancy is once.
