Default Reloading room

All my reloading stuff was at a cousin of mines house and he is moving so we moved the reloading room to the basement of an old church on my property. I keep it heated in the winter but I was just wondering what I should try to keep the humidity level at for the sake of the powder and other stuff. I bought a big dehumidifier and set it to 35% I think that would be fine but just wanted some opinions. Thanks

An old chest freezer or fridge (not plugged in) with some moisture bead bags. Instead of trying to control the entire environment. Thats a bunch of money per month running a dehumidifier.

A goldenrod heater that's used in gunsafes wouldn't hurt if you decide to go the freezer route.

Mostly is make sure everything is sealed up so moisture can't
get in it. I had 18# in a cardboard oatmeal box for years under Dad's work bench unheated here in Pueblo where temps get -30F to 105F over most years.
Primers in their 100ct boxes. Everything was good after being out there for at least 23 years.

He put 5 sticks of dynamite with the powder, covered it in a 3' hole and fired it all off to develope a spring. When the rocks stopped falling and dust cleared there was POND and good flowing stream.

Hell of it was, I'd paid 50 cents a pound for that 4831. Couple years later I got back to needing it again powder was $15.50lb. Now days, don't we wish it still was??
