I suppose if you could instantly raise temps to ignition point they’d all go but I still think it would be like a bunch of firecrackers. Not like the sum total of powder igniting if it was in 1 big shell.

I remember driving by the Army ammo storage at Tonopah, NV - HUGE underground facilities with raised berms................ammo kept at a constant humidity and temp..........As a retired ammo officer, I can tell you that we store bulk ammo in open areas in ammo magazines/ bunkers. Dry storage areas are best.
I won’t go into quantity distance and storage compatibility.
That means you need a select fire 10/22. Keep me posted for when I can come play.Suppose that would be a good way to store ammo, just haven't found one big enough for the pallets fit. Feel bad because I may have been responsible for the last nation wide shortage of .22's.

If the temps inside the safe are high enough to cook rounds off.., then the temps outside the safe would cook the rounds off looooong before the safe got hot inside...I could be mistaken but I believe the temps inside a safe during a fire could cook the rounds off. If I am wrong pls let me know. I remember reading a post on here a gentleman had a fire. Guns in safe but the temps got high enough to mess with the hardness. Could be mistaken memory isn't very good anymore.
Yup, Hwy 95 between Hawthorne and Luning... drove that road tons of time as a kid shuttling between Las Vegas and Carson City.Ammo and Aliens both!

I remember someone had a fire and it messed with the temper on all his guns. Like I said before my memory isn't very good since the chemo. May the light beer virus pass up you and yours.If the temps inside the safe are high enough to cook rounds off.., then the temps outside the safe would cook the rounds off looooong before the safe got hot inside...
Stay safe.
It sure can get hot, even in a “fire rated” safe. I could certainly see setting the wood or synthetic stocks on fire from convection heating of the air inside the safe if it’s baking inside a house fire long enoughI remember someone had a fire and it messed with the temper on all his guns.

Nothing surprises me! I think all the Navy ordinance loading is now done at Port Chicago in the estuary across from Suisun to keep it out of the bigger Bay Area cities there.I've actually been in the storage facility at Hawthorne, picking up a load for the Navy headed to Oakland. It turned out to be just wooden blocks to stabilize the nose of the naval shells when they were in storage, but they treated it like I was hauling nuclear bombs. When I got to Oakland, the paperwork was wrong and they put me in lockdown for 8 hours... it was retarded, but that's the Navy.
For once, crappy neighbors on both sides worked in my favor.
As long as they aren’t druggies, bad neighbors are usually a blessing in disguise and an asset for security.
Not in my case . I had an a-hole neighbor, his a-hole wife and their a-hole 17 year old football-star son who leased the house across the street for a year when they lost theirs in the foreclosure era of 2010-2011. The brat would drive up and down the cul-de-sac like an ass, purposely park right at the end of my driveway making it a PITA for me to pull my trailer into my side yard and would boom his radio so loud I could hear it over my TV in my living room...and the dad condoned it thinking it was funny. That year lasted easily 18 months, man I was glad when those morons left!
Sadly, the people who moved in afterwards were neat, clean, silent...and were busted about 12 months later after turning the house into a marijuana grow house. They did over $80,000 damage to the place and it took the owner at least 6 months to repair it all!
The latest people bought the house about 6 years ago and they're fantastic...like all of the other neighbors on the block.
Stay safe.
