This thread has gotten me thinking. I had the bright idea of pre-loading charges for my ROA by using small plastic tubes to save the time of measuring in the field. Now I'm wondering if I might be creating a hazard due to the possibility of static electricity, especially here in AZ with our low humidity. Any thoughts? Thanks.
Modern graphite coated BP is virtually immune to static discharge from what I've read, and in any case, it's the BP dust that's susceptible as opposed to the particles. So as long as you don't toss 5 lbs of loose 0B in a basket like you're a Native tossing flour, while rubbing a balloon on your head, I wouldn't worry. Preloaded charges are awfully handy from what I hear.
