[QUOTE="diggler1833, post: 4019554, member: 48072"] I think a lot of the variance in what we across the board find as acceptable means of storage depends on what and how we are shooting. Pistol shooters worried about hitting steel recreationally, or even split times on cardboard 10-15 yards away are able to get away with a less strict storage practice than someone trying to print tiny groups on paper at distance with a rifle. It doesn't take a huge amount of care to keep primers where they'll still pop. However, it doesn't take a huge amount of carelessness in primer storage to degrade consistency with regards to velocity etc... Component age doesn't seem to matter quite as much to a point...some of my smallest groups last year were fired with primers and powder from 15 years ago. It was just stored properly (to my personal standards). YMMV. [/QUOTE]
