No.Is there a time limit regarding how long a newly installed primer can sit in an empty case before it needs to be charged and a bullet pressed in? In other words can a primer go bad just sitting in an empty case while in a loading block?
Actually, if temperature is high enough, priming compound will ignite.I read that primers will dud out if exposed to extremes of heat, such as 200 F.
The PMC "non-toxic" primers made in Russia were bought around 20 years ago. They are still operational and I will let THR know when they are not but my guess is not in my lifetime.I've heard that the newer Lead Free Primers do have a shelf life.
Maybe someone will have some info on them.
