BLACK POWDER STORAGE

[bpd303]

I store small amounts in the powder horns or flasks in the house. The bulk of my powder is in the unattached garage in original containers and cardboard boxes. I probably have 25 or so pounds stored that way. Some of the containers were passed down to me from my grandfather mostly 4f priming powder which is at least 70 years old. Never any problems with it going boom.

I keep BP in there plastic containers and then in a box for the reason it would just flash if there were a problem not go boom, but as for caps I keep bulk in Seal A Meal Bags with air sucked out .

Seems folks are always concerned about storing their BP, but do not worry about flammables and combustibles in their living spaces.

Wonder why?
