Hot weather and powder storage

#1 Post by Pete »

How are y'all keeping your powder/primers cool in this hot weather?
I'm having trouble finding anywhere in my place that's below 26C at the mo.......and it's going to get hotter...

powder and primers survive fine in the middle east so I doubt it will be that much of an issue

It used to get hotter than this when I lived in Ohio and didn't adversely affect my powders.
That said my study is my dog's favourite bolt hole so I've got the fans on full blast for the little chap; if there are any benefits to be had for my powders then they'll get it secondhand.
