How long would you guys leave a case primed sitting out with no powder charge or bullet seated?
 
It shouldn't make any difference compared to primers left in their box in the same area. I've got a pile of brass that was sold primed and some of it is at least 20 years old. No problems.
 
Sitting out? Not long. I store all my primed cases in ziploc bags, organized in containers in a metal locker with wood shelves. I have some x39mm cases I primed 10 years ago and I have no fears that when I decide to use them, they will go bang, like they are supposed to.
