Is that a Winchester safe?
Electronic lock?
Combination 1-2-3-4-5-6?

That's a respectable stash! I don't have nearly that much ammo on hand, but I am loaded with components. After Sandy Hook happened it was close to a year before you could find any reloading supplies. Once it started coming back I made it a point to buy either a pound of powder or a brick of primers every week. I am so glad I did!

That top shelf looks like it is sagging under the weight.

So that's where it is!!! Stopped by the local Sportsman's Warehouse on Friday just to walk through guns, fishing and camping sections. Absolutely NO ammo on the shelves. Plenty of shotgun shells. Wonder if the availability of shotgun shells has increased sale of shotguns? They had some revolvers and pistols for sale so assume they keep some ammo in the back for those who purchase a firearm.
I have enough on hand for my needs but will do some self rationing when going to range.
Checked out the fishing and camping sections but nothing I couldn't live without. The archery section was doing a good business.

Is a safe a safe place for large quantities of ammo in a fire? Would it ever get hot enough inside to set it off?

Nice
I got a Granite, with mechanical lock too, and the spoke wheel
Never trusted electronic locks
You be rich, mon
Pssst, hey buddy, wanna buy a dime bag?
Damn!
So that's where it all is! 
Folks tend to say it's not a great idea... but at current prices, I don't blame anybody for putting it in a locked safe!

Mine says UL Fire Safe rated to inside temp not higher than 350 degrees for 32 minutes in a 1200 degree fire.
Fire station is two minutes away from my house with a hydrant close by, I feel safe storing all that will fit in mine.
Blackpower. primers and pistol powder stored in a cabinet in another room, naturally.

I'm sure this topic has been dead horse beaten with a stick but I'm convinced this shortage has been exacerbated by the 'one click purchasing power of internet on-line sales to your door' phenomenon, like no other.
I mean who hasn't checked ammoseek, just to see what is available?
Consumers can now purchase bulk ammo with a click of a button, so supplies get depleted very quickly.
It's the price we pay for the wonders of the new millennium, ayep

Why didn't you just buy 8 lbs of powder every 4 months and save some money?
I stopped buying powder by the lb a long time ago.
