How many reloaders store their powder in a wooden box?

[silverfoxdj]

Was thinking about this from another post, what materials and plans are available for a powder storage box.

Does everyone use one, and have they ever been purchased or made from another container.

Do you use a similar container for primers?

I've seen many posts here where the powders were just placed on shelves near benches or cabinets..

I put it in a wooden drawer. Does that count

My house is shaped somewhat like a box, and is made of wood... therefore I consider it a wooden-box.

Yes, I did build a box and store in there.

I store mine in a gun safe that has been modified with selfs to store my reloading components.

An old sks crate with a lock added makes a cheap storage chest.

Particle board desk drawer for powder.
IKEA wooden wall cabinet for primers.

I have wooden cupboard with brass hardware on the wall in my reloading shop.
it has 2 shelves for powder and a separate primer storage area.
I even went legal and bought a $.25 explosives sticker for it

This was, like, my first question ever on CGN. See the thread here and what I eventually wound up doing.

I use particle board pre-fab cupboards for powder, primer and ammo storage. All have had a hasp and lock added to meet the requirements of the gestapo regulations, which are ridiculous in the extreme.

I store both powder and primers in a wooden box, as per the regulations.

I presumed they were meant to be portable..

My rifle powder goes in a drawer in my wood reloading desk and my pistol powder goes in a drawer in a metal filing cabinet in my gun room and what doesn't fit in those goes in a metal filing cabinet in my garage.
Most of my primers are in a humidity controlled gun safe and the rest are in a drawer in my reloading desk.
Bullets get a different drawer in the desk and what don't fit go in a different gun safe.
Loaded rounds get the plastic MTM cases and are on shelves in the closet in the gun room.

I'm moving across the hall to a bigger room this summer when I have time to move it all. Things are getting crowded in the little room

That was my understanding, too. If there's a fire in my place now, my powder box replaces my laptop as the one thing I leave here with.

Seriously, that #### is expensive.

 

[Dirtdigger]

Sure do!

Lol....

Didn't the storage regulations change?

Either way, mine sits on a wooden shelf, who really cares.

Well i have built plywood boxes to store my Mec shotgun reloaders and supplies to the gauge. Back of the box is peg board so any explosion is vented, that direction.

Never did anything similar for my powder or centerfire supplies. All my powder and primers are simply in trunks. Keeping my powder dry.

Storage is going to depend on who is present or has access. If i had a 13 year old son present i would store more securely.

yes, the regulations changed and the wooden box is no longer a requirement.
