Just put it in a can! I've been shooting loads that my dad made back in the 60-70's and all have gone off and they were stored in a barn that had rain, snow coming in the sides of it.
Ditto!!

I had about 500 pieces of 9mm brass that I had sized and primed back in 2000. I had stored them in an open top metal coffee can for the last 13 years. No lid, no plastic cover, nothing. Just dumped in the can, open to the world for 13 years. (I forgot I had them!) They were in the garage that was open most of the time to the rain, snow, fog and general elements of the Pacific Northwest. It freezes at least 3-4 times a year, then in the summer we usually have a stretch of 100+ temps for a week or so.

Fast forward to March 2013....I loaded them up and they all fired just fine. Not a single primer failed.
