deerassassin22 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) I was wondering how everyone stores there powder and primers and bullets that are not loaded I was thinking about getting a cheap metal safe about 4 feet wide 6 feet tall so I can lock it all up and climate control it and keep the keys in my big fat boy safe Edited March 24, 2014 by deerassassin22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okiestovepipe Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I got a surplus "fire safe cabinet" (similar to ULINE) to store powder only from local forum. Primers stored elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoomy Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) Next to my gas water heater in cardboard boxes. JUST KIDDING! I have a 46" wide x 72" tall welded steel cabinet with three locking points. All my powder, primers and live ammo go in it. It sits in my basement loading room.

razorfish Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 SAMMI recommends that primers should be stored in a wooden cabinet with 1" thick walls. Storing primers in a sealed metal safe is essentially like creating a bomb. Here's a link to the SAMMI recommendations for storing primers: http://www.saami.org/specifications_and_information/publications/download/SAAMI_ITEM_201-Primers.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No cabinet.. just up high on a shelf Yep on a shelf. My primers are on the opposite side of the room from my powder. No real reason other then it just kind of worked out that way.

motosapiens Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) My plan in case of a fire is to leave the house, so I don't worry about it. I keep enough stuff to work with upstairs in the loading room and everything else on a shelf in the garage. The garage usually has a couple 5-gallon cans of gas in it, plus 4 motorcycles that are gassed up, so I don't think a few primers is going to change the fire hazard much. If it burns, I leave.

Your garden variety thief has no clue what reloading components are. They want guns, jewlery, money, electronics etc. Just remember to aim for the "A" (down zero) zone when they enter your domain. I know its tough without a buzzer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
