Thanks for all the responses.

It looks like it will be OK to store my lead bullets in the garage. I usually have about 5000 on hand at a time and go through them pretty quick. So I'm talking about storage in terms of months rather than years.

I'll try to find a place in a closet for the brass. I have probably no more than 2000-3000 cases at a time and it should be able to find a place inside for them. l will also continue to store powder and primers in a controlled environment as I do with loaded rounds.

To avoid rust on my dies it looks like it's best to keep them inside when I'm done reloading. Many presses have a turret or a removable tool head, including the one I use, which makes it easy to remove the dies without having to reset them at the next reloading session.

The presses are attached to benches and have to stay in the garage. Any recommendations on what to coat them with to avoid rust?

Thanks again
