I can't take pictures right now, I have 50+ lbs of powder and 54k primers but they are spread over 4 different locations in wooden boxes to comply with the fire regulations.

Me too.

I know everyone says powder should be kept in a closed cabinet or case of some sort, but an old Army Range officer said he keeps his on an open shelf. His reasoning is inside a closed cabinet an explosion might be worse than on an open shelf unless you had it in an explosion proof case? Mine just sits on a shelf over my loading bench. I figure either way if I have an explosion, its not going to be pretty. One note, all of the jugs on the shelf are 1 lb jugs. Anything I buy in larger jugs which these days is only Universal, I sit on the other side of the room on another shelf.

Same for me, all my powder is on the shelves under my reloading benches; I prefer 8# jugs for the economy.

My reloading area is in my non climate controlled shop. There is a window AC/heater in the window but not left on 24 hrs a day.
I use an old nonworking refrigerator that holds all the powder and primers I can afford to buy. In the summer it can be a hundred degree in the shop but well under 80 in the fridge. In the winter 65 - 70. If the worst should happen, the door would open to relieve pressure.
