I have it in various places, spread out as it were. I used to use a wooden box back in the 80s but that was only for black powder/pyrodex.

I've got my powders kept in a plastic fishing bait box (with a descant bag in it) in a secure (locked) location outside the house, and have had no problems with damp or temperature degrading the powder so far - I intend to continue to keep my primers in the top of one of my rifle cabinets (any views on this...?) - So now ammo, powder and primers are all secured and separate...maybe this is unnecessary, but I reckon I'm making things about as safe as they can be...

Do you ever watch 'Grand Designs'? - My dream would be to design and have built a house with a separate gun room, loading area, cleaning area and storage...all uber-secure and fire proof.....and maybe a small underground 25m range tongueout

There should be no MAYBE about that and it should be several ranges with various distances... razz razz

I've heard that the deal with ammo is that it must "be stored in a lockable container"

To that end, do you think this would be suitable? Its a yellow COSHH cupboard

It looks like an ideal cabinet for loading materials, but I'd check with you local firearms department about ammo....

Thanks for that. I decided the COSHH cab was no good for ammo but will keep it for materials as you say.

So I've got a proper ammo cab now, all fitted and ready for the FEO to come and tell me to buy all the guns I want!
