RE: Portable reloading table
because of tha fact that humidity and heat degrade both powder and primers pretty quick, I gave up a bedroom in my house soley for my reloading room for the ease of being able to control the climate.
Its in the furthest room of the house from any major appliances such as furnace, dishwasher, clothing washer and dryer to minimize vibrations and that could cause my scale and powder measure to be inaccurate. I also have a dehumidifier in the room along with a little gizmo that shows tempature and humidty levels if the humidity and or tempature gets too high I'm able to deal with it easily.
Havent had any trouble since the tempature of that room never gets any hotter then 64 to 70 degrees and the humidity level thanks to the dehumidifier stays around 27% to 40% even when its raining the humidity never gets above 45%. Call me anal, but once you have a 1000 primers go bad from humidity and not knowing it and then you load up a 1000 38's using those primers and every other round fails to detonate its a big slap in the face and is very irritating.
Something I wanted to also say since you are a beginner is to keep in mind where ever you setup your reloading bench be sure its not in a carpeted room, not only do you want to keep the tempature and humidity under control you also want to keep the static electricity to a minimum where static electricity caused by walking on carpet could ignite both powder or primers and stored static electricity in carpets could ignite powder if any is accidently spilled on the carpet. In the 10 years ive reloaded I have never had an indident but it is always wise to be careful. Enjoy the sport but ALWAYS be full of care. good luck
