    ammo in the heat

    Sorry calgunners if this isnt the right forum, but is ammo in a hot car dangerous? Such as southern california weather? Specifically 12 gauge.

      Im thinking if ammo holds up in a Hummer or Tank in Iraq it will be ok in a passenger car in California.

          Your car seats will melt before you cook off a round. They start to become unstable at about 250-300degrees.

              Make sure it is cooled down a bit before firing. Can get some serious over pressures when firing hot ammo left out in the sun. Some powders are more sensitive to heat.
