Spent the last hour looking for 300 WLR’s I bought the other day 😩
Set them on top of the deep freeze . Somehow the bag containing them got put in the deep freeze with the ice cream wife bought the other day.
Would you risk them or pitch um ?

Use 'em. If you can bag them when removed from the freezer, do so to avoid a lot of condensation. After reaching room temp, open the boxes and set them aside overnight to ensure there is no moisture within. You might even want to dump them out on a paper towel for drying, your call.
Primers are fairly robust and durable things.
I am..........disturbed.

For five bucks, no. For a brick, what Dan said.

I'd ditch them, not because they got frozen but because they are WLR and I don't want to pit any more bolt faces.

Stilllearning, A few years ago, Winchester primers started having a problem with primers splitting when firing which caused damage to bolt faces on several rifles including one of mine. Winchester supposedly fixed the problem, but a lot of us still don’t trust using them. I switched over to CCI primers and haven’t looked back. Just explaining the reason for Yondering’s post.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

Yea , Federals are my preference .
However Winchester’s and CCI is the only thing around here to be bought by the 100.
Hate to buy 1000 for load development .

Like said. Should be fine if condensation potential is minimized when taken from the freezer. Not my brand of choice either.

Hate to buy 1000 for load development . Right, because that will cost just as much as a box of decent bullets and who ever does that for load development?

fwiw
I am working thru the 5000 WLR that Winchester sent me to replace bad ones from before the mfg change.
No problems with new ones for me or anyone else that I have heard of.
Cold won't hurt your frozen primers, but moisture sure will.
