Primers to the Safe?

[hoz53]

^^^This
I feel putting all your eggs in one basket is a no-no with primers
I store mine in plastic shoe boxes or large Military Can Boxes
with Dessicant
I feel sealing them in ziplocs seals ambient air moisture in
---
I had a friend, who thought it would be a really neat idea to seal up his gun in a vacuum packer type bag for meat
that thing rusted up within a year he said

i dunno but i wonder about that.. ive had primers 40 years and never stored them any special wayand they worked fine. have heard from many people who have done the same. i dont know what the ideal storage really is but i know primers can withstand alot and still work

I do know this
I bought 1000 F-210's from a Gun Show
when I got them home, I noticed very slight corrosion on the outside of the cups
like they were stored out in someones shed outside
I know some guys do this to keep things away from the house and kids
anyway, those primers literally sucked and 1/100 didnt go off
I had them for years and did not know what to do with them
sold a couple 100 to a friend for cheap and almost felt bad, but he was happy since they were unavailable a couple years ago
I found I can at least fireform with them

True that, so hard to rewire the brain (establish new and different neuron connections)
When I do clean an area, it seems to look the same a week later because I have useable space again
so yeah I gave up too, I just keep expanding to more area I havent utilized yet
Build more shelving
Build another story/level
etc

I am thinking cabinets all across the top of each wall may be a good idea for me
I'm trying too
I mean I like it , the ways it looks when everything is organized but,
I need everything out in front of me it seems so that doesnt work well

when i built my shop i promised myself i wouldnt get anymore stuff than would fit in there. i keep cramming more and more in there though. i have all shelves for storage as i need to be able to see everything. sometimes i will organize some but it tends not to stay that way for some reason. i am getting a little better. i put tape on the tool cabinet drawers and write wats in there. and on and on

I just cannot figure out how some of you guys have such clean clutter free space like that
this looks set up

That picture was taken right after I put it together in the room. It hasn’t been that clean since. My wife has stopped complaining about the cluttered surface. If I took a pic now, you’d hardly see more than 3 square feet of the surface.

I feel better

You obviously need to spend more on your firearms....

probably true- i really should sell all my remingtons off and replace them with Bats

I put the boxes in big ziplock freezer bags and keep them in climate controlled areas. I wouldn’t put them in my safe. There isn’t any room!

I’ve been known to use Foodsaver heat seal bags for primers
