Freezing temps and primers & powder

[rsmithsr]

Plastic coolers would be a good idea for storage shed storage. The biggest problem with storage in uncontrolled cold temperatures is condensation. If the temperature changes slowly there is no problem, it is when the primers or anything is cold and there is a rapid temperature increase, condensation is likely. It's much like taking an object out of the refrigerator and it sweats.

the good news it does not ruin primers, open the container to the traays and let them dry....then load and shoot...i had 5k get wet once...all went bang when loaded dry

Quite a few years ago I experimented with destroying primers. Nothing short of detonating them worked. It was then that I stopped worrying about the skin oil on my fingers hampering a primer that I had handled...
