[QUOTE="Okanogan, post: 1687551, member: 90397"] I now go for cooler, dry and as near as possible constant temp. I store my primers in a room purpose built for that when we built the house a few years ago. It is in a day light basement, in a room as near to fire proof as I could build. It also houses my powder and ammo, but each is separated. I tend to buy primers in 5000 lots, and powder in 8 lbs jugs to try and minimize lot variations so I may have both for multiple years. If you aren't trying to minimize SD/ES, then you can probably get away with almost anything and still have the primers function. I have shot primers 30+ years old in my pistol reloading and never noticed any difference from newer primers. (These were pistol primers that sat in a not air conditioned garage in FL for 15 years) [/QUOTE]
