    These primers OK?

    Hi friends,

    Has anyone seen/used primers like this before?

    Had to lock down with the father-in-law and returned home last night to find I left my primers in a cooler, more southern aspect of the house over lockdown. Now some of them look like this and I'm wondering if they're still OK.

    Nope, just sitting tight in their original cases - they're only a month or two old.

    Well, chose the greenest, weirdest looking one and it still went bang.

    Thanks everyone for your help!
