[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1115303, member: 39764"] All well and good, however, betweein the initial extruding of the propellant to storage to packaging and transport, it gets banged around plenty. keep in mind that Hodgdon propellants are for the most part, manufactured in Australia, so, there is even more shaking and jostling going on from Oz to here.... The 'tooth fairy' don't magically transport propellants, real world people do via common carriers and those carriers don't treat that package or container any different from the thousands of other packages. I know that, I worked at UPS part time, in sorting, when I was going to college years ago. I tossed plenty of cartons on the conveyor, some harder than others, but they all got tossed nonetheless. While I buy into the chemisrty I don't buy into 5 minutes in a dry tumbler impacting the propellant adversely. Then, lets facor in factory rounds with even more handling, jostling and shaking... It may (or may not impact a propellant adversely) thats pure conjecture on anyone's part and hasn't been proven concretely, one way or another, not at least anywhere I can find (other than people's opinions) and we all know what opinions equate to..... I'll keep on with my regimen and you do yours.... Far as primers go, I can't see removing them from the original packaging in the firat place. Why anyone would remove them and store in a Mason Jar seems, to me, to be bordering on anal. B esides, cases of primers store conveniently and occupy little space. You can discuss this subject to death but with no concrete answers pertaining to degredation in transit or in a tumbler for a short period impacting velocity, grouping or POI, it all distills down to just an opinion and nothing more. This can be an open ended discussion (seems to me we have discussed this before sometime back), with no set in stone answer other than IMO. [/QUOTE]
