    Ammo in garage

    I am thinking of storing my ammo, powder, and primers in the garage where my reloading bench is. Does anyone think there will be a problem with that, due to the heat in summer, cold in winter. I have always kept them inside, but it would be alot easier in the garage. thanks for input

    Just keep the primers and powder in a moisture proof container and out of the direct heat/light.

    Loaded ammo will last years and years, too, BTW. So, load what ya got!!

      If you want to get crazy and eliminate all question of longevity, you can seal your primer pockets and the mouth of the cartridge with lacquer then vacuum pack them with some desiccant and an oxygen absorber.

        hand warmers are large oxygen absorbers... these only work in sealed containers!!! must stay sealed as well.




        $25 for 40 pairs shipped! cant find even small oxygen absorbers for that
