I'm doing a give away in the general discussion section of said primed cases, with pictures.

Copper primed cases might be mercuric.
I believe copper primers were used in conjunction with black powder loads. They are not as powerful as later nickel plated primers. Nearly all the ammo I have tried had dead primers.
Is that what these are?
No, I don't know what those are. I had heard that copper-colored primers were mercuric.
The internet said Styrofoam was developed in 1954 and the US supposedly switched mostly away from mercuric priming decades before that.
if nobody wants them I will take them
