powder and primer storage

Guys, seriously, just store in sealed little brass containers. Easy peazy

You can make it festive --- once you put the primers and powder into their little homes, you can even give them a little lead or copper "hat" to really seal in the happy feeling.

Holy crap, had to think hard on this one.

I keep primers in ammo cans with desiccant. Powder jugs I keep in the plastic 5 gallon paint buckets available at Lowes, Walmart, etc. I also put desiccant in the bucket. It’s my thought that this will help keep the powder dry, but the plastic bucket should not be able to pressurize much…. I hope I never get the chance to prove it, though.

I couldn’t possibly find enough little brass containers for all I have.

We use a powder magazine to store our powder. The magazine wall thickness is one inch or greater.

We store our primers in a fireproof safe.

There are fire code limitations on the amount of primer and powder that can be stored in the residence. There are also specific requirements regarding the storage of powder. In order to be in compliance with your home insurance, you probably would want to look at that.

I figure it's better to be safe than to be sorry later.

I can definitely tell you allow the government to dictate your life, as well I can tell your not a prepper.

A cursory glance shows OK fire records stipulate a 5 pound limit without magazines to store them in and only 10K primers. If you live in Grove OK, the city has a one pound limit. This was just a quick lookup of the laws though.

Not so much the govt but insurance companies.
Hate to have a claim and it be denied because of improper storage.
