I live in Arizona where temperatures in a closed vehicle can reach 150 degrees in summer. Does this adversely affect the
reliability or performance of ammo stored in loaded vehicle guns?

Jim, I have been doing this with rifle, shotgun and pistol ammunition with no ill effect to date. I do make it a practice to rotate out vehicle stored ammunition (shot at the range or when plinking outside) with fresh ammunition periodically. Components and powders are much more temperature stable today than in years past.
