[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Question about storing primed cases

Posted: 6/26/2012 6:38:04 AM EDT

Is it going to hurt anything or cause problems to leave my 308 brass, recently primed, without powder and bullet in the case for up to a couple months in a plastic bag? Fears are maybe moisture in the air ruining the explosive etc. Thanks in advance

I have an uncle who stores primed brass in open coffee cans, occasionally for years at at time before he loads them. It's not an issue.

Thank you very much for eliminating my worries.

I store them in plastic bags with homemade dessicant packs made from ideas on this forum. Same with primers. It has been very dry here, but perhaps the rains will come

They're just as exposed to the atmosphere when sitting in their boxes on the shelf. It's a non issue unless you live in the rainforest.

I store primed brass in non-sealed plastic tubs with the hinged lids. Some of the .45acp brass I loaded a month ago was from a tub primed four years ago. I must say they have been in an air conditioned room and there isn't really any humidity to speak of here in AZ.

I live in the rainforest and have no problems storing primers in their origional boxes or inserted into cases.

Touché. I take back my rainforest comment and change it to Atlantis.
