I just found out that if you have 4# or more of black powder it must be keep in a powder magazine. Magazine must be constructed so that if there is a blast it must go up not out. This means I need to do a pit with 12" walls and floor of rebared concrete with a wood roof or only order one or two pounds at a time paying out the nose per pound. Also if you have black powder in the house and there is a fire the fire department will not fight it, this I understand. I reload a lot of rounds for BPCR and SASS all with black powder. How do others that shoot black powder handle storage or quantity buying???
I load for .45-70, .38-55, .44-40, .45 Colt, .357 mag, .38 Sp, and .32 H&R Mag. After finding about the Powder Magazine I wonder how the round or two I have loaded should stored as there could be a pound or two of powder setting there behind the bullets. Any ideas???
