    Vintage Winchester Staynless Primers

    Found these two 100-count sleeves of unfired Winchester No. 120 Staynless Primers in the back of the vault.

    Can remember where I got 'em but they're clean and shiny.

    Sleeve is cardboard with wooden separators. Primers are domes and appear to have 3 anvils.

    Any more information from the group?

    I acquired a pretty good amount of these a couple years ago. I was only able to determine they are just old primers, no discernible value over currently produced primers. I've been using them up.

    Thanks for the info. I'll use them in my practice reloads.

    If you look through old reloading equipment and the primer seaters on old presses, you can still find primer seaters that have a crown recessed for the curved primers... They keep the primer shape when you seat them, and reduce the risk of setting off the primer.... Flat primer seaters will flatten the curve against the anvil....
