Mine looks about like that as well. Have more .22lr, but hurting on 5.56, and 9mm. Have more shotgun shells than I can shake a stick at though!
Wow, that's more pistol and .22 ammo than in my local Gander Mt.

My 3 drawer fire proof filing cabinet is full of ammo cans that are full of SHTF ammo......anyone wanting to steal it would need a forklift or a crane to lift it. The cabinet itself is 'ball-busting' heavy....with the ammo it's immoveable without powered machinery. 
Sorry no pics yet....maybe later.

The fruits of my ammo hoarding over the last several years. This is what I did with my chest deep freezer after it died on me.

Now that it more like it. Although if you have a fire, things are going to get interesting...

It may make some noise like a firecracker, but without being in the chamber and having a bolt locked in place behind the cartridge, all it will do is make noise and is not a danger. It is only dangerous when the gases are forced in one direction behind the bullet to force it down the barrel. Without the barrel and bolt, pressure does not build. The brass will typically fly further than the bullet when popped off from a fire.

I've never been one to stockpile ammo, but I think I may have to change my ways. A quick look revealed the following...
2300+ .22lr
400 5.56mm
200 7.62x39
40 30.06
40 .243
40 .38-55 WIN
150 .40 S&W
25 9mm
8 .45 (yes, one magazine full)
200 .380 ??? WTH?
Several flats of 12 and 20 gauge
Knew I was low, but did not realize how low on some calibers

5k of 22lr, 85 of 38 special, and 460 of 556.
enough for SHTF. 22lr to hunt for food and the 556 for zombie defense.

With my luck if I had this setup, the ammo I wanted would be at the bottom. Good use though.
Mine sits in a old footlocker, Stack on 12 gun cabinet (no guns), 50 and 30 cal ammo cans in the garage cabinet and a few in the gun safe.

This is my ammo 401K. This isn't my working pile. I keep that inside the house. The working stash is more reloads and ammocans.

All that will happen, at worst, is cases will rupture and powder burn. There will not be bullets flying everywhere.
As an aside, a public forum will be the last place I publish a list of my ammo (except in the vaguest of terms) or photos of my ammo vault. What I do or do not have is none of anyone's business. Same deal with lists of firearms owned.
The old freezer, however, IS nice idea.

Trust me, that much will be interesting to say the least. And if the stuff at the bottom goes first, it will have some pressure.

Not to hijack the thread but.
So if it starts going off what does the FD do? I saw a video on a gun safe site where the guys house cought on fire and ammo in the garage started going off. FD backed away and left it burn to the ground. Guess I would be out of luck with about over20K rounds worth in the basement .22,.223,.5.56,.45acp,.9mm,8mm mauser,7.62x54,12ga!!! Any quotes from fire fighters out there.
Check this link out... Mythbusters - Bullets Thrown Onto Campfire
It's my understanding that they are more dangerous locked in a gun safe or some other strong container creating a bomb. Left out in the open they don't do much damage.
My neighbor, who is a volunteer fireman, said if my house catches on fire him and his family are running. Ammo in cans in garage will just pop/explode. Hopefully ammo in fireproof safe will be ok. In any event the insurance company will be getting a phone call from me

Pulled the 22 ammo out of storage for a picture shoot after I built a bench. If I remember there is over 13,000 rds on the bench.
Nice stash - a drummer too +1
