Okay I am relatively new to reloading but I am buying powder and primers in large quantities thinking I will use them sooner or later.
Then I saw a comment in a thread about trying to use a powder they have had for years.
How long will powder or primers store in an airtight container? Does it make a big difference to have it a climate controller environment (A/C).
I have unopened lbs of powder in a ammo cans with good seals and my wife does not like it when I store 25-30lbs of powder and three ammo boxes of primers in the spare bedroom closet. Can I leave these in the garage in south Texas level hot summers and expect them to last a few years? How do you know when they go bad?

How long does powder last?
