[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 853571, member: 10178"] It all depends on where you live. Powder and primers need to be stored in dry constant temperature between above 40*F and not much above 80*F. Cold or high heat for prolonged time and or a great variable between the two, hot then cold, is not good. High humidity areas are not good either on primers just left in their box. It is good practice to keep your primers in a zip lock bag with some discantant (SP?) packets added. It is also not a good idea to store powder or primers in things like the military ammo boxes. You are creating a bomb when you do this if there was a fire. One of the best storage places I have found is in my basement in an old refrigerator that does not work. It is air tight and greatly fire resistant but if a fire was to happen and things got hot enough to cook off the primers or set the powder to burning instead of an explosion from being in something that would not let the pressure of the gasses escape before explosion it would just push the doors open. I put the primers in the freezer section and the powder in the refrigerator part. [/QUOTE]
