Storage question

[P345Dude]

Newbie here. I have seen a lot of great pics on your reloading shops, but one of several questions I have is: How are all of you addressing the storage of the raw materials. You see in the catalogs powder storage containers and I am sure having X lbs of powder/primers/etc sitting around in the shop is a huge .

Well, I keep all my powders on a shelf in my office/reloading room. I keep my primers in a metal 50cal ammo can with vent holes drilled in the top on another rack away from the powders. Everything is kept out of direct sunlight.

Powder in a cabinet on one side of the garage. Primers in a cabinet on the other side of the garage. Garage is insulated, faces north.

Finished ammo is stored under the gas water heater.....j/k

Just on a shelf in the original factory packaging they came in, in the garage next to the reloading bench, away from any heat sources/electrical devices and separated in terms of primers and powder. I've seen most people store their raw materials this way too...just on the shelf that is on top of their reloading bench.

You'de be surprised how much good some insulation will do. I did the standard R11 in my attic, so it wouldn't interfere w/ my storage & put the same in the exterior wall that was left open by the builder. Replaced the Garage door w/ an insulated sectional a few years ago.

So much more comfy any time of the year!

I keep my powder, primers and match ammunition in my closet in my study. The room is temperature controlled and a good place for storage.
