Nah no lanolin it was just the dry environment.

Why not just tell the Mrs if the reloading gear is going to the shed then you are going there as well.

I personally wouldnt put an electrical heater in the same cupboard as the powder.

I store powder in those metal ammo tins with a rubber seal.

Primers would be the most susceptible and thats to condensation. They arent airtight when you buy them but they need to be. I keep mine inside the house in a tightly closed plastic bag in a small well ventilated but locked suitcase. I let them warm /cool to the temperature of the reloading room before I take them out of the plastic bag. Theres plenty of time while I size and clean the brass.

Dies press calipers etc I carefully wipe with a barely oily rag at the end of a session.

Check whether fluorescent / LED lights might upset your scales. I keep my chargemaster in its box in s tough holy plastic bag inside a wooden case. Look after it.

I also try to clear off the bench before reloading and use a little vacuum cleaner around. Don’t want to get specks of sawdust or iron filings into dies etc.

Treading on thin ice with that one

I use spare/used bubble-wrap in the spaces between the studs, then light plywood over the top to insulate.
(it's amazing how much bubble-wrap gets accumulated with almost everything couriered these days, friends and neighbors drop us off theirs as well).

Win some ya loose some. All setup.
Powder and dies all locked up in a pelican case copy and press has a light coating of lube on the shaft…..

Grouse setup

If thats a hot light bulb above the bench insects can fly into it and fall down sizzling.
Keep your case mouths and powder dispenser covered !

Good while it lasted @McNotty

That'll be the end of a beautiful relationship! But so long as you get to keep the guns and the boat, it might be the best outcome.....????
