[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1695944, member: 307"] I put mine (20-30lbs) in a wood storage crate and drove from N.C. to Washington state, stayed for 2yrs, packed it up again and moved to Va., stayed 2 yrs, packed it up again and moved to Ga., stayed 2 yrs and moved back to N.C. I didn't try to ice mine down, just kept it in the Penske going and Uhaul coming back. In all that time I only lost one can and I'm not sure what caused it to go. I lived right on the coast and I noticed my Hodgdon 1lb bottle lids were starting to rust, inside the house. That's when I found the Alliant RL-22 (plastic bottle and cap). I bought it while in N.C., so it went to Wa., Va. and then Ga. I kept in in the house (man-cave) so it was temp. controlled but that day I opened it up and shook it to make sure it was dry and a bluish-purple fume/smoke came out of the bottle. Freaked me out and I quickly but carefully took it outside and set it in the yard and looked at it through the dining room window until I got my nerve up. I poured it out very sloowwwwlllly. I couldn't remember if it was double based and had nitroglycerine in it or not and if it was gonna blow my arm off. I hadn't seen anything like that before. In your case, depending on how much you have, and if you feel you need to keep it cool, instead of using ice why not the ice packs that you freeze beforehand. Or like we country folk do, freeze a couple of two liter drink bottles and throw them in there. If the lid stays shut tight the packs and those solid blocks of ice (drink bottles) usually last a good while. [/QUOTE]
