The sides of the cases will blow out, the bullet goes one way, cases, the other, with very little power. I’ve seen it in a house fire before, and there are a lot of things to worry about besides this.
I have reloaded since I was 13, and I’ll be 59 in April, but I only shoot up about 6-7000 a year. I have about 20000 loaded rounds and 130 pounds of powder in the house. I’ve never had a safety issue from reloading.
For those not familiar with the 35 Whalen, it was a "wild Cat{er}," i.e., you had no choice but to reload for it. It's also known as a poor man's 375 H&H (ballistics's for the first 100 yards approx. the same.) More then big enough for any game in North America.
Please do.
The main thing is, NO DISTRACTIONS! A moment of inattention can beget all sorts of bad results.

Separate the raw materials storage area from the processing area? Only have a limited amount of hazardous materials in the production space sufficient for immediate use?
What if Jennifer Aniston walks by in a bikini? Is that not worth a disaster? heh
I’ve heard that a few times too. Such as don’t watch TV while reloading etc.
Obviously keep fire away from flammables too?
That would make sense. I know some systems have the powder feeder right on the reloader itself, but the rest of the cans or containers could probably be elsewhere.
I’m thinking if a person doesn’t have a lick of common sense though, that it wouldn’t matter, accidents will happen.
Whelen.
