Hi...Are there any issues with reloading on days with very high humidity? Should reloading be kept to days with moderate or low humidity? BT

    How do you all deal with humidity and powder weight?

    If you are reloading in the humidity, and not indoors in a controlled climate, I suggest you use all those cartridges relatively quickly. Heat and humidity degrade the powder over time. Anytime the two combine they also tend to corrode the brass.

    So, if using regularly, you won't see a problem. FWIW, a lot of benchrest competitions are held in heat and humidity and they reload outdoors. Just not out in the rain. Don't let any of your components get wet.

    I'd be more concerned with static cling handling powder charges.
