Ammo/Powder in Safe

[remington]

How many of you do (or dont) keep your ammo and powder/primers in your primary safe or another safe?

[GUNNTZ]

I keep mine in a triple locked/pinned cabinet and in a alarmed area. You can't be safe enough with this stuff, especially after that nut job in escondido.

[GeoffLinder]

Bullet, primers, powder and loaded ammo stay in a series of locked metal cabinets. Only firearms, optics and a couple loaded magazines stay in my gunsafe.

[iareConfusE]

I keep my primers/powder in the garage, with all of my other reloading equipment. It's locked up in a polycarbonate display case on the bench. The gun safe only holds guns and handgun ammo.

[Bill Steele]

I keep it in shelfs with swinging doors. When I first started reloading, the old timer that taught me admonished me to never store powder and primers together, never store them in cabinets that the doors (or sides) will not easily open without catches. He explained that if you store your powder in a safe, you just created a pretty big bomb.

Not sure if this was right, but everything else he ever told me seemed to work pretty good.

My handguns, long guns, and ammo, in one safe.

Primers in a seperate safe.

Powder is on my reloading bench.

Sorry, I just had to vote for the truck. I do not really keep it there. Next to the water heater is much safer. LOL

I used to keep loaded ammo in the safe till I ran out of room (too much ammo is a nice problem to have. ). I'm getting a secondary safe so I'll probly go back to that.

Ammo, primers, and powder are in a plastic wall locker. If there is a fire I don't need my safe turning into a bomb.

How's a plastic wall locker safe from fire?

[Divernhunter]

It will burn and melt and not contain the pressure like a metal safe. Thus you have a bomb with a metal safe.

I have 3 safes but no room for powder/primers/ammo in them.

[pepsi2451]

Primers and powder on shelfs next to the bench. Ammo that isn't in a magazine is usually stored in a metal cabinet but there are usually a couple boxes in my range bag or in my truck. Loaded magazines are stored with the guns.

Primers in my home office, powder is in an old refrigerator in the garage I use a temp gauge to hold at ~78 to 80 deg durring the summer. ammo will be moved into the office this summer.

the safe is for guns. and like was said before I don't want a bomb in my house.
