I've got a pretty good stock of primers, all types. Probably a 2 year supply.

Some people say to store in ammo cans to protect from humidity. Others say this just creates potential bombs in case of a fire.

Just how sensitive are primers to humidity?

Looking for comments from this group...

Not sensitive to humidity. HMB

HMB may be right but I think I'd lean toward storing them in the same place as your powder - cool & dry.

The included link will tell you all about it.

To the OP. Humidity isn't much of a problem except that it might 'rust' the primer itself. Just store them in their original containers in a cool, dry, place AWAY FROM your Powder stocks.

Thanks You Keller for the primer storage info. The P/W baffle you sent me is working flawlessly. It definitely helps in the primer feed operation. Thanks again, Tom E.
