Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Possible stupid powder storage question

Just gut the condenser and motor out and use the fridge as a cooler or don't plug it in. Make sure it has a magnetic closer and not the old latch kind. You want to keep the temp from wide swings and the old fridge will do that. Keep the powder sealed for humidity control as whether it is frozen or not, you still have to worry about that.

With all the powder today packaged in plastic bottles, that plastic is going to melt before the powder will burn off, so there is no danger there concerning the powder building up of gas.
I have used two refrigerators for many years without problems. Ammo in one, powder and primers in another. It really works with cast bullets where hot weather may make that lube migrate into the powder.

An ADDENDUM:

Actually I began handloading in 1975 so.....

it's 5 houses in 40 yrs.


If some of this B S wasn't funny I'd leave the 'campfire'.

You just need to recognize B S when you smell or see it.

Mr. Saddlesore -

I've been outside working and happen to think about my last post.

It was ADDED per my 'previous post' and in NO WAY did I intend to intimate nor imply any negative toward you or your last post.

WELL, well. I happen to re-read part of this thread and noticed that when I put those pics in another folder...they were deleted here.

I just RE-posted them on the previous page. Yeah, I forgot that happens. Sorry.

That powder is known to be terribly explosive in MT.

Looks good and should work fine in states like MS, LA, AR, etc.

Kinda like when people ask about certain products known to cause cancer in CA, my response, "Stay out of CA"...
