[QUOTE="ldp4570, post: 1364238, member: 5168"] Not just for longevity, but safety as well. Even cased ammunition will only pop when exposed to flames, since the case isn't loaded into a firearm where the brass will be heald in a steel chamber the explosive effect will always take the easy way out which is usually cracking the brass, or if the crimp is weak on the projectile, it will push it out of the case. I would suggest that you keep at a minimum a 20ABC type fire extinguisher near where ever you store your ammo. Actually you should have several of these types in your home. A 20 to 30 ABC listed extinguisher will handle all types of common fires found in homes. [/QUOTE]
