so im starting to get into reloading 12gauge shells just need the powder,primers and press. anyways trying to get all the starage setup befor buying
.. now from what i think i remember is that
primers and powder can be stored togother
no more the 10kg of powder
stored in a wooden ventalted box with EXPLOSIVE written on it
mut not have metal screw/nails in the box if there is the must be brass
out of reach of children

anything else or if there is something i have misunderstood please let me know

1 more thing i thought of how would u have the box ventalated just some small 1/16 hols drilt in the side and top?
 
Powder and primers must be separate. It can be as simple as a divider in the box.

percussion caps (primers):

Storage and possession
possession for own use

23 a reasonable number of percussion caps (primers) for one's own use, and not for sale, may be kept
on residential or other property, out of reach of children and away from heat and substances of a
flammable nature. Such storage must be separated from propellant storage in a locked container or
receptacle marked “explosives.”
no federal licence or permit to possess is required for such
storage.
 
You didn't mention that the wood for the box must be at least 3/4" thick. And that the box must be locked.
