Powder storage

[Dcav]

How do you all store your excess powder? 1lb container of Unique.

It seems dangerous to store it in anything other than its original container or a reloading apparatus.

Dry cool place inside your house. Don't store in your garage or shed. Should last for years. You can tell when the powder goes bad by the smell.

I just put it back in the container, or leave it in the powder measure. My press is indoors.

After I'm done reloading, I take whatever is left in the powder measure and empty it back into the original container. Nothing more special since it's indoors for me.

I keep mine inside the house also and then its stored in big coolers afterwards. Has worked for many years that way for me.

My excess powder goes in the magazine down the hill behind the house. Of course I'm talking about more than 2-3 8 pound jugs of powder too. I store about 30 pounds (working stock) in a wooden storage magazine in my loading room, and all the rest is stored in a magazine cut into the hillside about 50 yards from the house at the bottom of the hill. It's an old aluminum aircraft freight container that I've waterproofed and dug into the hillside. Doors have two padlocks to keep inquiring minds out. The temp inside tops out at about 75 - 80 degrees max even in the middle of summer. Works for me.
