Need help dating some CCI Large Pistol primers

[Dovebuster]

I purchase a brick of CCI Large pistol primers from an ODT'er yesterday and they were in a green box. Now I have been reloading with CCI's for 30 years and have never seen a box like this. Can someone put a date on these things for me? Thanks. Will try to add a picture if my minute skills allow. DB

Smack them hard, smack them once and you'll never date them again, so get your money's worth the first time you date em

A cheap redneck date I assume, I prefer to date smaller primers but if the big ones get your motor running then so be it.

I assume the trays holding the primers aren't made of wood? http://3gn.ar15.com/archive/topic.html?b=6&f=42&t=367544

Yep, I'm with ram on this one, lol.

Back to your question, i started reloading in 84 +/- and don't remember ever seeing green boxes from any of my suppliers.

GeauxLSU, Great link! Wooden trays, who'd have thunk.

I never dated a primer. I did dated a prima donna once, but that is a different story all together.
