Long as they were stored at a reasonable temperature and climate they should work.  I have primers that are at least 35 years old in a cabinet.

Hello Kurt, :D

The CCI primers are probably from 1974 and provided they are not damaged, contaminated (like with oils), or been exposed to high heat (80 – 140 degrees) for a prolong time, what a house attic might reach on a hot summer day, they should work find.
