Primer Sealer

[Dirtdart504]

Is sealing primers worth it? If so, is something like Markron worth the extra cost over nail polish? I'm thinking about this for hunting rounds and long term storage rounds that I loaded.
Thanks.

I've loaded maybe 25,000 shotgun shells and probably half that many brass cases and never once used a primer sealer.

I've been loading since the early '90's and have never sealed any primers.
Long term storage, use military ammo cans with a good seal.

Thank you for the input. Apparently much ado about nothing.

If I was loading ammo that would be stored in the jungles of Vietnam, I would bother with primer (and bullet) sealer. Since that is not my current shooting condition, I do not bother. Never had any problems, even hunting in the rain.

I have been reloading since the 70's, and never had a weather related failure.

Here's a link where it was discussed maybe a year ago... A member here soaked rounds in a 5 gal bucket and tested without any sealant...

It helps if you have lose primer pockets, otherwise probably not needed if ammo is stored properly.
