Priming question

Any risk in priming a bunch of cases a month or so ahead of completing the case? I am putting the primed cases in sealed baggies...

Nope

Just keep any oil out of there and you'll be fine

Like jj said, no problem. I've kept primed cases for years and they work fine after they are eventually loaded. When you think about it, primers aren't very well sealed from the outside world in their own little containers and they will last for a long time in them. No reason to think that placing them in primer pockets would change anything.

I don't think that you have a problem. I have primers that I bought in the early 60's(in little wooden trays) and they still work.
