Old Dixie Gun Works caps, maybe from the 80’s/90’s. Are they corrosive, ok to use?

Back in the late 70s Dixie had Italian made number 11 caps in their catalog at a very low price (this was before HAZMAT fees). I remember the catalog saying they were corrosive but so was black powder. I bought quite a few and still have a couple of tins, although the tins are plastic. They worked just as well as the Remington, CCI or RWS caps that I used over the years and wished I had bought more.Old Dixie Gun Works caps, maybe from the 80’s/90’s. Are they corrosive, ok to use?

Exactly.Anything related to bp is corrosive AFTER ignition. That is why we must be dedicated to cleaning our guns well after use. I have some really old caps and would not hesitate to use them.
