I know it isn't wise to store primers or powder in containers that will restrict pressure from easily escaping. But that aside, is there any reason other than safety, that storing them in an air tight metal military ammo. box with oxegen inhibitors should be avoided? I probably have 10,000 or more, and don't want them to go bad if that is even possible. For 20 some years I stored them in zip lock baggies, and still have primers I purchased about that long ago that work just fine. I recently was going through a storage unit I've had for close to 15 years and found several thousand LRBR primers that weren't protected at all, other than the original boxes, and those too are wroking just fine. So my final question is, can primers go bad if they are not stored in a sealed enviroment? I have a friend that has powder and primers that are from the 1940s, and he still uses it all without problems.
