I did an inventory and found some old primers and cans of powder I bought in the early 90s. Forgot I had them. What's your opinion on using old primers and powder? Should I expect misfires and inconsistent accuracy? These were stored for a time in an un-air conditioned garage.
PRIMERS: Winchester WLR, CCI 200, Remington 9-1/2M
POWDER: W748, IMR4064

Primers should be fine.
Powder should be fine if stored in a tight container.

Should be ok. Only one way to know for sure.

As long as powder does not have that funny smell like vinegar or if it does not have a rust color and dusty should be ok.
It's not how much money you make, but how much you can keep.
