Longshot Powder

It is one of the powders I see quite frequently in stock at MidwayUSA and Powder Valley. It is not currently but doubt it will be long and you will find some. There was an 8lb jug and several 1lb containers available at Sportsman's Warehouse (local) yesterday.
 
My wife has been ill and haven't been doing much reloading, hunting, etc. I just retired, back in the game and have time to pay attention.

I see sites that say they have it, but I've never heard of them and now days scams are everywhere.

This is my favorite powder for 9mm. I do have power pistol, unique and blue dot.


Thanks.
 
Brownell's has Longshot now. Now if I can find large and small pistol primers

Today has been an awesome day, I'm a member of a 700-member gun club and end up buying some folks out so I have enough components to last me and my grandson a lifetime as long as we don't shoot more than a couple hundred round a day, every day.

Now my biggest issue is the proper storage on the primers. I've been storing them in a large wooden box with desiccant. Anyone know a better way to store them so they will last decades? Can I vacuum seal them with a desiccant pack?

PS: I built a shop with a reloading room that is climate controlled (no windows and 2 hr fire rated) as my wife didn't like all the powder and primers in the house.

However, I've only been reloading for 8 years or so and never stored large amounts of primers, etc before and looking for lessons learned by others and appreciate any guidance.

I quit shooting competition around turn of the century rather unexpectedly. Had a large stash of loading components on hand at that time, both powder & primers. While I have purchased some SR primers, have not purchased any LR primers since.

My loading room is air conditioned and I keep all primers in GI ammo cans (with no dessicant). The average annual percentage of humidity is 75.0% here. Powder is in original jugs/cans. I've had no issues with either powder or primers.
