Yes, but there's nothing about that location that is intrinsic to the
reserve. I may move it around, and the reserve keeps being the same
reserve. If I say "I'm moving our reserve of wood to the basement",
the reserve of wood is the same one before and after I move it. Also,
when I move it, I'm not moving the container.

I would use {srostu}={sorcystuzi} for the physical location.

st1 (st2=so1) so2
x1 is a store (location) of material x2

I don't see how to get that from {sorcu gasnu}.

I would use something like:

socpu'i (sorcu punji) p1 (p2=s1) s2 p3
x1 stores material x2 in/at x3
