I store alot of stuff in mylar bags with silica gel (VCI paper if corrosion is a consern) I have a smalll toaster oven in the garage to recharge. I mostly buy them from the big A site but check any preper site qnd you will find them to fit ammo cans and 5gl buckets.

Here in high dry Utah I just put them on a shelf in the cupboard. We never get humidity levels that will hurt them.

Late to the party again
It's the "usual three": Cool; Dry; Dark. Primers are pretty stable though. Dark is easy. Dry is easy here in California. Cool is a challenge. I keep them indoors. I buy them by the case (5000ct) and leave them in their original packaging. I do take the precaution of not stacking all the cases together. They're spread out in various locations. And no; none are in a sealed container - for the reason mentioned. Same with propellant.

I tend to keep many products in the Climate Controlled house
I do LONG term store some items....Bulk ammo, Model airplane engines, Primers, Powders, Glow fuel, in a variety of methods and all are absolute over kill for my 63 year old butt....just OCD All storage include readily and cheap Descant packs Rubber seal ammo cans Vacuum bags Just plain Zip lock OK Texas can sing form 100% humidity to 13% in one day... but the in house swing is less dramatic... 23% to 45% So truth is...IN a typical Air conditioned house, factory packaging is good for long shelf life Hell I bought 2 hand guns way back just to pass on to my son....or later his Years of annual cleaning.... wife got a cool high end Food Vaccum... Both were factory fresh... one load of ammo by me... ultrasonic and total anal cleaning...CLP and suck bagged 7 years ago...annually at "clean all the danged guns" exercise I pull them out... no deterioration I can see...yes the bores got grease I tend to believe if you reload out in some shed...you should still keep all the powders and primers in the better climate controlled house I might be convinced that humidity is not as much a problem as extreme temp swing... not so much the powder but a primer is a chemical/mechanical item Extreme cold and extreme hot simply has to cause a lot of cycling from shrink to grow tightening the anvil, cracking the mix...I dunno...seems to me keeping them stable is easy and good idea |

When I got back into reloading in 2013, there was a sale somewhere on primers (I forget where), at $16 per/1000 shipped plus haz mat of $25/50k, so I ended buying their entire supply, which came out to several hundred thousand primers. It’s been almost five years since and the primers show no problem. Primers store really well and are relatively safe. Just keep them in their original packaging.
If you find a primer sale, stock up because you can never have enough primers.

Damn.... if they were that deeply discounted i would have bought them out too!!!!
I settled on vacuum bag with a desiccant pouch tossed in for good measure, maybe overkill but only took a second to bag them up, worth the peace of mind. |
