I have primers from the late 60's that shoot fine, stored indoors, outdoors and in
several different climates. I wouldn't leave them out at -40 but other than that indoors
or a basement and don't worry about them.

I would be concerned about basement in case of the flooding, so store them high or in some sort of zip bags so they would float...

Cold won't bother primers but heat will. Store them as cool (and dry) as possible and they will last for many decades.

If they are federal 215's regular or match you can store them at my place.

I 2nd the 50 cal ammo cans for storage. I have over 30 of them with powder and primers that are like brand new bought over 10 yrs ago.

I read a post here on L/R/H not too long ago where a guy was using an old (not working) refrigerator.
Id do that in a heartbeat as soon as I find one. Primers in the freezer part, and powder in the frige part, all nice and neat on the shelves. Air tight, and insulated, so keeping a moderate year round temp would be easy. So would keeping moisture out.
If you dont have room for an old frige, I like the sealable ammo can thing.

What about storing with the "anvil up" so there is no "primer flipping", just something I heard........ What does this mean?

It means that some one has too much time on there hands and should go shooting instead of dreaming up ****.
