[QUOTE="Ahall, post: 3683755, member: 49426"] Unknown reloading components - powder or primers - dispose of them properly Not worth the risk to you or your toys. Damage to you or the gun will cost more than the primers are worth. You already know they were not properly handled because its a mixed lot that is not labeled. Something is not right with that picture. Also, pistol primers are intended for lower pressures than rifle primers and may rupture if used in a rifle case. That's why some hot pistol rounds use rifle primers. You don't know if they are magnum or standard primers, which has some effect on ignition and pressure in your loads. You don't know if they are any good. I have received a lot of second hand components from estates over the years. The widows just want it gone and don't know what to do with it. Don't shoot the reloads spread the powder out very thin on a big flat rock and burn it salvage the cases and the lead Check old cases for balloon head construction. [/QUOTE]
