Powder and primer storage

[Thompsonj]

How does everyone store those consumables?

 

[dok7mm]

I use a upright defunct freezer for primers and loaded rounds and dead floor freezer for powders. Never had any problems.

What temperature do you have them set at?

 

[Lefty7mmstw]

I toss them in the basement on shelves... The house has both heat and ac so there isn't a huge temp swing.

I have a dedicated closet in my house for all my powders, primers and ammo.

What temperature do you have them set at?

Whatever my shop temperature is with 2" insulation allowance in the defunct freezers.

The variables to all storage long term are: temperature, light and humidity. Less off all three is best. I have a basement that I keep under 75f, below 40% humidity and no light. For good measure, the gun locker has desiccant packs to lower the humidity even more in the locker.

Locker is a big old locker from the 60s. Contains my powder and a few guns. Not air tight. thus the extra precautions. No hand guns. Those get a proper safe.
