Store powder in its original container in a cool/dry place.
The powder manufacturers all list storing powder in a cool, dry place. Go right ahead and heat up your ammo with melting glocks, I'll keep mine cool, reliable and consistent.

Consider this, too: best info I can find is that a glock won't melt 'til 230 c, which is 446 f. Nearly 500 degrees. At that temp you'd have rounds cooking off.
