I know there is a classic rule that cleaning chemicals and ammo don't go together, but when this is said, what is assumed? That you have ammo laying around on a desk next to an open bottle of hoppes #9, and to prevent a spillage of the chemical all over the ammo? I ask because I'm curious to if it will be okay for me to store my cleaning stuff in a safe along with my ammo and gun. It's a small safe. 16"x16". I have all my cleaning equipment on the shelf and my ammo and and gun on the ground level. I know this may be coming off as a paranoid post, but Im sure you can understand how I wouldnt want anything to go wrong considering I have about 100 rounds in there.
Also, I have a revolver, and when I clean it, I clean everything inside and out everytime I shoot it. In the process a small amount of the cleaning agents remain on the cylinder walls: just because it happens and because it's good practice to prevent corrosion. Generally, before I go to bed I load the gun. In the mornings when I wake up there is always a residue of the cleaning agents on the bullets. I try to wipe them off but I can't say I really put in an effort. is this going to be a long term issue?
