I keep my ammo in milsurp boxes, and those inside one of those construction site boxes, which I lined with sheetrock as a sort of heat shield in case of fire. There seem to be somewhat differing opinions on those ammo boxes wrt them being air tight. Anyone think drilling a tiny hole somewhere on the box is a good idea, just to relieve pressure in the worst case scenario?

Drilling a small may not relieve the pressure fast enough. The metal ammo boxes I have all have tight seals. Also the military has special areas they store their ammo, not in there living quarters. I would suggest using the plastic ammo boxes instead. Also read the link I posted on the gun safes especially the fire portion. A little Sheetrock may not be enough protection.
