I recently decided to start Buying Powder by the Case, a decision i am glad i made, plus it’s Cheaper to buy it that way
Yep. Seem like good people. Shipping and HAZMAT is around $73, so a small order is a bit high per pound.
. As the future shortages came about and prices started to rise due to the hostile atmosphere about guns, I suggested to many of my friends that they, if possible do the same, especially on muzzleloading as there was a decent supply where ever you looked. I was laughed at, and told there would never be a shortage of muzzle loading components. Well low and behold, here we are and those same people are now crying like babies, and accusing me of hoarding and wanting me to help them out. For the people calling it hoarding , I am sorry you missed the boat.
Suit yourself.
People will do what they're gonna do. Sounds like you've already made your decision, that's fine! All I'm suggesting is for folks who may not know "for sure" to check local and state ordinances before stuffing their shelves full of powder that could get them into a heap of trouble. That's all.
Who said I was "stuffing their shelves full of powder that could get them into a heap of trouble"? I didn't make that statement. If you're going to correct someone, be sure they're in the wrong first. It's the proper way to discuss things...not make assumptions, mmm-kay?
Your Situation mirrors my own. Like the bomb shelter episode from the twilight zone.Back a good number of years ago in the modern firearms there was a mass shortage of everything, and I got caught with my pants down. After it eased up and there was a decent supply again, I sat down and figured what I would need at the rate I was shooting per month to give me a 4 year supply, modern and muzzle loading. I worked at it and got it there, and maintained that supply as I used it, I do not call it hoarding, I call it planning
Exactly! Thank You!
Be prepared is a very good motto !
Black powder does not “ detonate “ in a fire unless it is confined in a very strong container that will not rupture easily such as military ammo cans, concrete boxes that are full, etc. lightly constructed plywood enclosures are good. Containers that break open or rupture easily make a “ WHOOSH “. Strong, heavily constructed containers go “ KABOOM “. You want the “ WHOOSH “.Sorry I wasn't being critical, I know it wouldn't detonate, but !@#$ happens as they say, and I'd rather 5lb go off and replace the garage, then 50lb which would probably blow up the entire house haha. I'm new to the hobby and I'm still really scared to even be around the stuff when the container is open.
Wish you well
