[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1282110, member: 30902"] Don't store in the attic for any reason. The excessive heat will ruin the powder. The cellar will be fine as long as it stays well above freezing. You can use resealable 5 gallon buckets or surplus ammo cans. I picked up some surplus 20 and 40mm ammo cans years ago and as long as their gaskets are still good they work just fine.Best to use some sort of dessicant to protect the primers from moisture that might get sealed into the containers due to relative humidity. Powder and primers will last decades as long as they are kept in a "cool dry place". As Kirby said, if you need to you can use an insulated cooler box to protect from freezing. [/QUOTE]
