Reloading?

[Slaughter-06]

What is the shelf life of powder and primers?

Keep them dry and constant temp and they will out live you.

 

[Slaughter-06]

There dry.
Constant temp is another story.
In my shop, 40° - 80° avg. Year round.

 

[shane37110]

That's good enough. Extreme heat is the killer on them.

I have powder that was bought in the real early 1990's that was stored in a garage until about 2007, then has been in a climate controlled room ever since. I'm using it in my 35 Remington all the time and killed a deer with it this last season.

Still If you have a climate controlled place it would be best.

long time

I have shotshell primers going back to 1980 when I shot Trap for Budweiser and they are still good

all the above. Keep them dry.

If your powder ever smells different from gunpowder take in back yard and use as fertilizer. Be gentle.

I need to blow the dust off the reloading equipment and burn some powder!
