    DO YOU THINK IT WILL HURT MY PRIMERS IF I VACUM PACK THEM IN PLASTIC BAGS ONE BRICK OF A 1000 IN EACH BAG, ASK BEFORE GOT LITTLE RESPONSE.

    Like you, I have vacuum packed a number of primers. They have only been in storage in a cool place (with a little dessicant) for 5 years. So far they work perfectly. But I also have some kept in a non-air-conditioned room for over 35 years and they work fine too.
    So maybe primer storage isn't really all that crtical. But if nothing else, sealed primers will stay clean and dry.

    How about 50 cal ammo cans with a few 2" holes in them covered over with stainless steel tape for blowout panels?
