For inside storage of 25 pounds or less an old military ammo case for mortar rounds with a hasp and lock work well. For outside storage of more than 50 pounds Upper Missouri here uses a bunker well behind the building. You will need to check your local fire regs on this too.
How is Doc doing? I haven't been there in years.Originally Posted by KCSO
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
Dee of course passed away about 3 years back and Doc is still OK but is slowly closing things down. His son Scott is taking some of it on and the shop in Crofton is only open 4 days a week now. He is still building rifles though and he just finished a nice 62 calibre flinter. He is on the road right now and will be back in the shop this Wednesday.
