Storing primed brass

[powdergun]

I like to prep ( clean,size, trim, and prime) my brass and store it in ziplock bags with a silicone bead packet. My question is what shelf life would the primed cases be before I would start to worry about primer function.

Is it basically the same as storing primers ? I have found primers last for years as I have never had any problems.

No issue: had a pile of primed .357Mag brass stored for almost two years. Zero issue once loaded.

probably good for your life. primers don't go bad easily. I have some primers that are 10 to 15 years old and still using them.

I used some Winchester primed 458 wm brass last month. It was from the 60s. All 20 went bang
