bbbean Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Our new office has some enclosed storage that is inside and semi-insulated, but not heated or cooled. Temps could vary between 30 and 90, and humidity should be comparable to being outside (local average around 60-70%). Any reason not to store primers there?

Too_Slow Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 If it is steel and seals tightly that would be a big NO. If it is wood or does not seal when closed it should be OK. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Deegan Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Suggest you store primers like you store loaded ammo, inside a metal container (safe, ammo can, old refrigerator, etc.). Powder should be store in a 1" thick wood constructed magazine that will ventilate in a fire. The storage recommendation is based on the following: Powder storage http://www.saami.org/specifications_and_information/publications/download/SAAMI_ITEM_200-Smokeless_Powder.pdf Primers and loaded ammo: The video is long and makes you want to cry watching all that ammo burn, but it is put out by the NSSF in conjunction with SAAMI.

bbbean Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) By "enclosed storage"'. I meant a lockable closet. Primarily interested in whether temp and humidity will pose a problem over time. Edited January 19, 2013 by bbbean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
