Basic Reloading Question....

[walnutred]

This is completely contrary to several of the "proper storage" recommendations! You have a large bomb just waiting.

But HAY it's your barn

Not really. Most household refridgerators made in the last 30 years have magnetic latches not mechanical ones.

One thing that would concern me is the dies rusting from temp/humidity swings. I like the idea of storing powder away from your residence due to fire risk. I like the old refrigerator idea as the gasketed door will keep the humidity changes down and as suggested, you could put a goldernod heater in it to keep the temp swings down.

Are you going to insulate and sheetrock this garage? In zero degree weather it can be tough to heat a garage especially if the ceiling isn't finished. Another option would be to build a little room inside the garage and heat just that.

Definitely insulate and sheet it. I picture the reloading area as semi-separated, but open enough to let the heat flow through. I want to have the stove in the main area so it can also keep that area warm for working on cars, snowblowers, four wheelers, etc.

Not the fridge, the even though it is a "safety light bulb" with electric wire set up.

I had one of those blow in a oven, The whole "safety glass" over the bulb cracked. Constant freezing and warming might weaken the glass.

Primers and Powder in the same place????

The odds are probably not great, BUT "stuff" happens.
