In that I do the same (probably have around 6,000 rounds under there!)...  Have you ever laid awake at night thinking...  

What if there's a fire?!?  ;D ;D ;D



RUUUUN!!!




Also makes me wonder...  What if just ONE of them went off for some reason...   :-\  ;D

 I'm thinking of the vacuum seal too. I presently keep mine in Coleman coolers, with dessicant, after I tumble them.

I don't keep much but what I have is right next to my vault.  I'm not too worried about it.  I've shot rounds that I've had for twenty or more years without a problem.  Even the ones that I left in the shed for ten years were not a problem.

Shotgun shells I rotate and use up quickly.

Remember in a fire, the casing is going to go further than the bullet.  It's the lighter part of the cartridge.  I don't want to get hit by one by they aren't very balistic either.

Most are kept in the gun safe along with the guns, I do have a .30 cal ammo can with loose 12 ga. and 5.56 ammo. I need to buy some more .50 and .30 cal ammo cans at the next gun show though. I have reloads to do and nowhere to put them.
