Just floating a post for opinions on how you folks store your powder and
ammo (primers to be kept elsewhere). Personally, I've been keeping mine in
a WW II footlocker and its'just not enough. A full 1/3rd of its room is in
the lid because it originally had a removeable upper compartmentalized
shelf - which is gone from this one. I have toyed with buying one of the
inexpensive Stack-On lockers for this. The downside is that their sides are
so thin they may buckle if I install shelves and load them up. OK, so, how
does *your* pantry grow?!

No problem.
Build a wooden lift-out tray for that footlocker.
Duplicate the footlocker.

Thanks, Fred. I wasn't so sure that the locker was the best idea but perhaps
it is. Spec sheets only state that containers should not be so tight as to
prevent venting of gasses. In other words, too tight ='s massive explosion.

I keep mine in the same place everyone else does. Primers on the
dresser in the bedroom, ammo in the kitchen cabinet Where else would I keep
them? Oh yeah, the powder horn with the black powder is in the
desk, of course.

Well, dang, back to my youth there, JOAT. Unfortunately, the kitchen
cabinet would collapse with this much weight. Separating the primers is
good and I don't yet shoot black powder but I'm close!
Later,

Yep, it was all handy until I had little g.kid hands and eyes scoping out
everything and a couple close to the dangerous teen years. I hate to lock
the little (10'x10') reloading room because I'm in there for tools and
reference books so I'm moving and locking the 'highly flammables." I'm a
little pressed for space at the bench or I would definitely consider your
idea. Thanks!

I don't have the kids to be concerned about, so it's a bit easier for me
I s'pose.
