    10-4 Brian. Might I suggest one of the modern plastic ammo can copies? I tend to follow the old school powder and primer storage rule. Don’t want it in something that will become shrapnel should it end up detonating somehow. Powder stays in their original containers, plus stored in a cardboard box to simplify, and same with primers, although I use shoe boxes for them.

    That's a misconception that's vastly over rated. We burned live ammo, everything from .22 to .50 cal, locked it in ammo cans and set it in the cooker to find it just popped and spread ammo around. Powder just roars into flame. There was NO shrapnel.

    Yes, original containers. We were talking about primers.
    Regards, Jim

    BAR, I am talking gun powder and primers, not loaded ammo.
