    Powder storage temperature

    Hi everyone, I was wondering what temperatures are too hot or too cold to store powder? I have my reloading setup in my shop which is insulated but not air conditioned / heated. The inside temp of shop gets to the 40s in winter and close to 100 in summer and always stays dry inside. Been thinking about buying a small fireproof box and storing powder inside my house. Is this necessary? Let me know what you think. Thank you

    Temp won't effect powder, but humidity will.
    Best thing is to keep it air tight, in sealed containers.
    My stuff is all in my garage, gets to 40 in winter, and 90 in the summer.
    I just have the factory jugs sealed, never had an issue, and I live in WA

    I live in central North Carolina. It's humid here. As long as it's sealed in it's original container it'll be fine.
