Could you elaborate on this, please ? We’ve had numerous threads here that concluded that ammunition will not “shoot” in a fire unless they’re the single cartridge loaded in a firearm in the barrel position. That is, the unloaded cartridge would just heat up and harmlessly push the bullet out. Since there’s no barrel, there’s no acceleration imparted to the bullet. Once the bullet clears the case, the gases expand in all directions.If for any reason the ammo should ignite, the safe will become a bomb.
I sell safes, and I'm gonna tell you do not store your ammo in a safe. If for any reason the ammo should ignite, the safe will become a bomb. If you don't like the ammo can idea, get a sheet metal, or plastic, shelved storage cabinet & use that. Most of them have a provision to lock. What's more important, they won't contain the gases of ammo burning & raise the internal pressure into bomb status.
I still wonder why he has to make special arrangments for a weeks worth of ammo.
