I can't see a problem with it.
Yeah me too. To me getting rounds done to this point makes sense. In another loading system it might not. My reasoning is that provided you know what you're doing,and can pick up on faults easily, brass prep up to this point can be done without a high level of concentration.
My life has been characterised in the last few years by frequent interruptions, mental overload, and days where I just plain feel unwell and tired. So I have learned to break down the prep process into small steps that are easy and also include notes to my self in each container of brass as to exactly what has been done, ie whether brass has been sized, trimmed, run through a case gauge or not.
To me the stage where the brass has been cleaned/deprimed/sized/lube cleaned off/checked in case gauge and primed is the logical point to store it, as it means that it only remains to fill/seat/crimp/count and write up the load in my book for that caliber. this I save for days when I know my concentration is 100%.
As long as primed rounds are in an airtight container and stored away from heat, I don't forsee a problem. That said,I live in a cooler climate and am not aware of any rules that require primed cases to be locked away.
