What do the more experienced reloaders think of moving my powder to a fireproof cabinet in a non climate controlled garage?

I could put the containers in zip lock bags or something like it, it’ll just be the same temps as outside. Southern ohio weather if it matters.

Let me know what you think. Thanks

Unfortunately fireproof is only fireproof for so long. If enough heat builds up  and the powder is ignited you're looking at a bomb. I keep mine inside sealed plastic tubs in my garage, but we don't have the temperature swings you have in OH.

It gets hot in there in the summers. I don’t know how hot it gets in the cabinet but it’ll be the only thing in there.

I've stored powder here in AK in a non heated/cooled conex  for 5 years back when the EX and I divorced..renting a small apartment that didn't have room for me to store it indoors..zero issues with any of the 50 pounds of powder stored in it..
