Storing primers in shed?

You should be fine. I store mine in my shed, but mine is insulated. I would be more concern about them getting wet than a little heat. If you're that concern buy a cheap cooler and store them in the cooler, then the cooler in the shed.

For a buck or two apiece you can buy plastic shoe boxes with lids. The slightly more expensive ones have latches.

For outdoor storage, that's what I would use instead of a cardboard box.

I store my primers in a Igloo ice chest. With dissicant.
The type without the latch.

Too much value to store in a shed. Get a locked box for under the bed

Storage in shed is bad.
I have an environmentally controlled space for your primers.
Bring them by and I will store them safely for you.

Storing primers in shed?

Insulating an un-climate controlled shed generally only moderates the rate of change in temperature inside as opposed to the actual upper and lower temperatures recorded inside. This is due to the significant wall and roof surface areas exposed to the elements and the general nominal insulating capabilites of shed installation. This applies to traditional wood and metal framed sheds.

Of course if the shed is underground or in an area itself that is protected from the elements, such as in a cave, then the above would not apply.

In summary, keeping your stuff in the shed is not likely to be much different than keeping your stuff in a non-climate controlled garage.

Wherever kept, moisture, via leaks or humidity, is a factor to pay attention to.

Good luck. Enjoy the bigger garage and storage.

YMMV.

Location location location. Orange county guy gets away with it because of moderate weather changes. If you are in a place with high humidity and frequent 100-40 temp swings I wouldn't do it.

I was surprised at the upper temperature limit, I would have thought that degradation would occur at elevated temperatures.

So, it looks like your shed will be fine.

Primers are Precious and should be stored as such lest you lose them.

with the cost of primers being what they are today you should be storing them under your mattress. You'll sleep like a baby

He like me have many guard dogs. You know 9mm, 45acp, Ar15, Ar10, and many more. They leave quiet a bite mark.

Should be fine from a temp/humidity standpoint.


I would prefer plastic boxes, just in case you develop a leak or two. Cardboard isn't very waterproof. Plastic box with an overhanging lid will shed most drips.
