[QUOTE="340PR, post: 2012647, member: 107814"] For what it is worth: 1. All powder stored in original containers, in a closet in the house, so the temp remains stable. 2. All primers stored in metal "ammo cans", with desiccant packs ( I change out the packs 2-3 times per year), in a different closet, but still climate controlled.. 3. All ammo stored in metal "ammo cans", with desiccant packs ( I change out the packs 2-3 times per year). In case you want to know what happens if you have a fire (I had one that destroyed my home): 1. Powder burns, simply adding fuel to the fire. That is why powder comes in plastic containers nowadays. 2. Primers explode, blowing the metal cans apart. 3. Ammo cooks off, consuming all paper in the can, lead and copper melt, cases burst, but no cans blew open.. [/QUOTE]
