I’ve no knowledge of those but about six years ago I bought some 100 packs of Winchester primers for $3 each at a gun show in Lakeland. They had to be 30+ years old just basing it off the packaging. They all work like a champ and have had zero issues. May be worth a shot for you just like it was for me.

Older , they are probably just fine but how they were stored plays a role .

I have close to 1k of those. All have gone bang thus far. Kept in a 30 cal can in AZ...price tag was from a Rx store and like .79cent price lol
Also had 1k federal small rifle in the old red black and yellow box. all of those were g2g as well

I have no problem buying old primers as long as the original packaging is good.

Lead styphnate primers are pretty much unaffected by storage conditions. From a practical standpoint it has an unlimited shelf life. Mercury fulminate primers which were used prior to the lead styphnate were more unstable and were affected by humidity.
