The static charge thing is a myth. Goex comes in plastic containers like most other powders. I've posted the static question on other forums asking if anyone knew of a documented case where a powder measure with a plastic hopper blew up when used with black powder. No one knew of it ever happening. One fellow said that he's been loading black powder shotgun shells on a Mec for years and was still here to tell about it.
That's a good point.Goex like other powder companies, also adds graphite to their powder to neutralize static charges. It's been that way for 100 years, or at least thats the understanding that I have of it. The shooter in this post may not be putting his powder through the same treatment...
About 45 years ago I was working at a high vacuum research facility. We were requested a light weight one for NASA. We went to plastic. Had only a few companies at that time which were static free. Since then most plastic is static free , BUT not all. Years back I needed bottles for a MEC Jr. I had picked up. when I called the person told me at that time to make sure the bottles had MEC on them to insure static free plastic.The static charge thing is a myth.
