Storing ammo in a safe
How many people store some ammo in the safe with their guns? I was thinking specifically about it "cooking off" in a fire and making a mess of everything inside.
I'll have to google a little about what temp it takes for the powder to start burning, and inside a safe, with a little thermal protection that may be difficult to achieve in a house fire.

Ammo I'm not worried about, now the fireworks on the other hand. Then again at that point my house would be total loss.

Re: Storing ammo in a safe
I have a large safe, and half of it is full of my ammo.

Re: Storing ammo in a safe
Although the video I'm posting does not answer the OP's question. As a volunteer fire fighter this is the training video we watch to see what happens in most instances where ammo meets fire and other destruction. It's 25 mins long, but well worth viewing for an understanding of what will happen.
