Is this a problem? Should there me more room between electrical and ammo? I have a few boxes of ammo stored between the joists in the basement and was wondering if this is safe. The wire is in good condition with no issues on the insulation.
Thanks in advance,

I'm sure it's fine, but you could always secure the wires with some staples or plastic clip type things and get them away from the boxes.

You're probably just overthinking this, Bob. It's fine. I don't think there's anything to worry about.

Nothing to worry about. You should see how factory ammo is stored in warehouses and stores

Thanks all, pretty much what I thought but figured I'd ask to see if there was anything I was missing.

It depends on the voltage. What is that 220, 221?

I didn't see any ammo for a .38, .39, whatever it took.

Hell....I was gonna say.... YOU'RE the guy who bought all the .22 in town when we were all looking for it.
