Great photos too, Lorgar.

I was wondering if there is something I am missing or do you guys have a separate safe for your reloading components?
Nope, you're not missing anything.
As discussed, ammo and components have to be stored securely and separately to the rifles (don't put the ammo on the floor in your safe).
If the separate section in your safe will hold the ammo, great. If not you will basically need to get an ammo safe for your reloading components.
Welcome to shooting in WA

Someone floated the idea of a group buy of a private island for hunting/shooting.
I'm keen

I mean, I wouldn't surprise.me lol

On ya, WA. Your servants and their minions write this stuff and enact into the statutes of your fun loving state.
You'll never find me there.

Yes, if WA allows you to store ammo in the bolt compartment within your safe. It is not an ammo compartment. Some states allow us to keep ammo in there despite the law saying otherwise - Vic for example. I don't recommend doing so though as they could change their mind at any time.

Powder, primers, bass and projectiles need to be stored as per the safe storage requirements. Which actually contradicts the Dangerous goods act when it comes to powder.
But them's the rules...
