    I'd say the garage is fine for things designed to be used outside, but to me reloading gear isn't.

    Not use your ammo outside then??

    There are garages & GARAGES...…………..My mate has his all insulated & carpeted with a wood burner heater. He does tend to pamper his motor bikes & his Morgan a wee bit though!

    I think I might have fitted a dishwasher for him... was he an electrician and did work in the Morgan factory?

    Most of us have non insulated garages, no heating etc...left my Wilson reloading gear out once and I was shocked when I went to use it again because it was left out in the cold..

    I use my office/spare room to reload, I wouldn't consider doing it in the garage if there was another option open to me.

    If you're garage is insulated, heated, carpeted etc, then I wouldn't really call it a garage and would be happy to use it for reloading.


    Cheers,



    Mark.

    If your garage is part of your house then it should be fairly warm you could always get a oil filled heater or two to take any extra chill away I load in my workshop the backyard cover in its great to escape out side into my own world but I do store the powders in the house and only take the one Im loading with

    Insulated shed with a small fan heater (not ointed at the bench) works fine for me, I don't store powder or primers in there though for security and it gets hot in the summer and cold in the winter.

    A garage will be absolutely fine!!!
    Thanks for looking

    Ammo is NOT reloading gear though is it

    A "garage" usually has a non weather proof vehicle access, regularly opened so damp & cold gets in, which will cause corrosion to items intended for use indoors.
