Yes a shed is necessary for my life moving forward.
I made a shed in part to store lead stash in, ended up with a bunch of stuff from the garage in the shed so I had room for the lead in the garage. Sweet eh?Originally Posted by 9w1911
Scrap.... because all the really pithy and emphatic four letter words were taken and we had to describe this source of casting material somehow so we added an "S" to what non casters and wives call what we collect.
Kind of hard to claim to love America while one is hating half the Americans that disagree with you. One nation indivisible requires work.

For a year temporary storage, I'd drill/dig the hole for insulated container and cover with a urethane foam well cover. Low cost, dry, fairly temp stable and easy to remove when you leave.
I think most are over thinking this.
Information not shared. is wasted.
Agree

As many have already stated the energy available in gunpowder is less than many common household items.
I have a reloading shack out back behind the garage that has some woodworking tools in it and all my reloading/bullet casting stuff. I have probably 30# or thereabouts of powder stored there, as well as the primers. I keep all that stuff in cabinets that I snagged from in our house when we were doing some remodeling.
How many pounds of powder are you talking about? A 55 gallon plastic (open top type) drum can hold quite a bit...
Hey hey lets pump the brakes there.
Drums would work great.
Better have a batch of insulation or your likely to end up with condensate inside your drum.

But if your powder containers are sealed well, the powder will still be dry.
I like to use 2-liter soda bottles for things that I want to keep dry (e.g. sugar, corn meal, rice, etc).
I think just for peace of mind I'd throw a few good sized desiccant packs in.
