[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2905740, member: 75451"] I lived the first 35 years of my life in Louisiana (noted for humidity and heat) and brought a bunch of primers to Wyoming with me in ‘85. Some of those ultimately ended up in a storage building for several years…..experiencing summer highs in the 90’s and winter lows in the -30’s. Fast forward in the 2000’s……I used up those primers and can’t recall a misfire! Those primers experienced just about every extreme you could expect. Primers are pretty tough…..impervious to near everything except oil! Many years ago a friend of mine discovered that you don’t use liberally WD 40 to protect your handgun. The .357’s that I loaded for him would not go “bang”! And for what it’s worth…..I have some Korean War surplus powder in a cardboard fiber type drum that has likely seen many extremes….at last look was just fine! 😉memtb [/QUOTE]
