My son has been a firefighter in a rural county for over 20 years and when they hear the ammo popping, they quickly walk away from the burning structure.
Wrong.
The shell casing is far lighter than the lead, and the lead will melt before the primer will ignite.
So there is zero risk from ammo cooking off.
Try it.
Throw some ammo in a camp fire.
There is no danger.
You will find both the melted lead and brass only a foot apart or so.
Nothing will go flying.
