Does anyone have any experience using the Markron or Hornady sealers? Is it worth the effort to seal reloaded rounds?
Thanks.

Not really necessary. As long as you store your ammo properly and aren't taking it on a lengthy trip to a really humid area, you should be OK.

I have used the fingernail polish looking primer sealer on some steel shotgun reloads for duck hunting and it seemed to work. But i have never used it on any metalic reloads as they generally never get dropped in lakes and are stored inside the house

Good to know, I was just unsure about storing reloads for a couple of years.

I have been reloads that are about 10 years old. (.44mag) No primer or bullet sealer and they have been stored in my outdoor shop building. No problems with them and they achieve the same velocity as when they were first loaded.
I have never seen the need for sealers.
