AA#9 in 1 lb & 8 lb @ Powder Valley.
My reloading room is in my 125 yr old basement. Even though it is dry, it still draws humidity from the washer/dryer, block walls, etc. I happened to have a food saver in the kitchen so I figured "What the heck, it couldn't hurt" especially for un-opened bottles that may be stored for lengthy periods of time and it's cheaper than a good de-humidifier. My opened bottles are just stored in the cabinet, in ziplock bags with a rechargeable desiccant pack in each bag. It's all probably overkill but it's one less thing I have to worry about.does the vacuum packing help preserve powder better?
Just ordered some, along with some S&B SPP, and hazmat came out to about $1.50 per lb and per 1,000 primers. Should be good for a while now.AA#9 in 1 lb & 8 lb @ Powder Valley.
And for the record, those pre-made bags that nothing fits in just right is perfect for one pounders of hodgden powder bottles. I'm going to seal my primers next. This is the perfect way to long term store and to know which powders are opened. Plus it appeals to my weird obsession with vacuum sealing stuff.My reloading room is in my 125 yr old basement.

I also vacuum pack my un-opened bricks of primers until needed.
