This post of mine dovetails with other discussions of late regarding ammo stored within our dwellings. If this is redundant, I would ask our esteemed moderators to delete it or move it.
I have a fairly significant cache. Everything from .22LR to .45 ACP, .223 and 7.62x39. I store all of my ammo in surplus ammo cans. Lots of them. I keep them stored in a cool, dry basement, away from windows or other potential exit points. I was particularly interested in comments on the earlier thread regarding the "nut" that supposedly stored 1M rounds in his house. I found no useful information as to how ammunition reacts in a house fire, under intense temperatures. Am I exercising due dilegence in my storage methods, or do others have more helpful suggestions?
