Components in progressive presses

In your progressive presses ...... Do you leave powder in your hoppers? Primers in tubes?

In NSW are these ok to leave out or do they need to be locked up?

That might depend on where your reloading gear is.
Mine's in a strong-room which, unless I'm in it, is locked shut.

As long as the hoppers and tubes are stored according to Worksafe requirements, it's possible they might require them to be stored in "original containers" or something. Powders can sometimes react with plastic containers so generally it's a good idea to dump powders back into their bottles.
