Fired cases are scrap metal with no storage requirements in NSW.
There are no storage requirements for projectiles in NSW.
Primers and Powder are not ammunition in NSW nor is their storage under the jurisdiction of the NSW Police.
You are required to store your primers and powder in a place that is 'inaccessible to unauthorized persons' ie lock it up.
Note it is dangerous to store powder in a strong pressure vessel ie a safe.
You want a container that can blow out at low pressures.
US powder manufacturers recommend a wooden cabinet (1 inch thick walls).
Filing cabinets or sheet metal cabinets are widely used in NSW.
There are 4 components; case, primer, powder and projectile.
To be considered ammunition (in NSW) you need to have an assembled case, primer and projectile (with or without powder).
There is no restriction on the number of rounds of loaded ammunition you may possess in NSW
(you must have registered firearm in each calibre that you possess ammunition for).
There is no restriction on the number of primers in NSW.
You may only possess 12kg of powder in NSW (unless you have a powder magazine permit with additional storage requirements).
In ACT I believe the following is the case;
You may possess 10,000 rounds of ammunition.
You may possess 10,000 primers.
You may possess 10kg of powder.
If you are in ACT check this info before relying on it.
