[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 3345962, member: 385"] National Fire Code will give some guidance if you want to be code legal. Thick walled wooden cabinet, etc. Avoid your gunsafe or any other thickwall metal container that cannot easily vent. From a practical standpoint, for most users simply storing powder and primers indoors, in their original container, within a temperature controlled environment, will allow it a long life. Avoid high shelves as heat rises. Visually check your powder occasionally on the off chance it has become unstable. Over a few decades I've never lost even a pound of powder when stored this way. Primers mostly the same. I go the extra step of placing them where something heavy cannot impact them to set them off. Never lost any primers either. [/QUOTE]
