I kept my dies, powder, primers in an old refrigerator with a light bulb to keep it dry. Did get a light coat of rust on my press when I forgot to spray it with WD40 during periods of non-use, but the rust looks more like a "browned" muzzleloader. ![]() I loaded in a woodframe tin covered shop for 20 years (in louisiana) with no ill effects.

Buy one with the digital thermostat that allows setting a "get and hold" temperature (the black colored model that costs $70). Then, buy one of those DeLonghi brand "oil filled" heat register heaters at Lowes. That is a one day project, and cheap (mostly your labor). Another thing to consider is insulating the garage walls and ceiling.
