I guess it is just a preference thing. The primers do become activated when you seat them, but that in no way changes how they should be stored. Just like primers in the box you wouldn't want to store them in your humidifier. As long as you keep them in a dry place you shouldn't have any issue. I keep my in big tupper wear bins and have never had an issue with them. I even have pistol primers that I had in the box for several years and they worked just fine. As long as they stay dry it really is a convenience thing. I like to keep a couple hundred above what I'm going to load just in case I want to load a few extra or something. I also like to prime them simply because it is an easy way for me to know what stage I am with the case. I prime as the last thing I do, so I know the case is trimmed and measured ready to go. I try to keep them all separated but sometimes they get mixed.</p></blockquote><p></p>
