I couldnt beleive it! I bought a thousand of those cheaper Italian 209 shotgun primers (28.00 bucks) ata gunshow today and when I opened the box it had an expiration date of 2.8.64 on the upper inside flap!
Well I guess I'm good to go for almost the next 50 years! FWIW, I still have some CCI primers I bought in the 70's that still go bang |

It really was an experation date it said "Expires", the box and each primer pack had a lot number...so it was an expiration date!
Now I dont think thaey will automatically go inert after 50 years, but damn its the wierdest shit I have ever seen on ammunition/components Sorry guys not 1964, its too recent of manufacture for that |
