For larger quantities I would not put it all in the same place.Is there a "best practice" for storing bp? I just keep it in my gun safe.
Learn your state and local laws. In NY State, it's 5 lbs maximum, in original containers or in horns, with those in a wood box with 1/2 thick walls, painted red and marked Low Ex. That box is to be kept on the ground floor or in the basement, within 10 feet of an exterior entry.
Massachusetts limits individuals to 2 pounds.
Realize that if something *does* go wrong, and your powder is illegally stored, either by method of storage or quantity, you will be liable for any damage or injuries in an accident,
No license that I am aware of. Most of the free-er states seem to have a possession limit of 25 to 50 pounds.In the USA do you need a licence (or even a license) to buy black powder? And is there a limit on how much you can posses? I suppose like most things there it depends on the state.
The natural gas that heats most of our house is more dangerous than black powder.In the manufacturers container each of which is in a segmented woden box out in the converted piggery in the garden.
I wonder about the sanity of those storing explosives in their house!
Don’t kid yourself.Black powder licence in the UK is really just a means of keeping tabs on who has it and that it's stored responsibly.
When cartridge ammo cooks off, if not located inside some kind of durable barrier, the bullets rarely go anywhere, but the empty brass may travel several yards.The video is good but didn't show what would happen if the ammo was inside a steel ammo can.
" I don't understand the thought about storing powder in a wooden box."
Me too, it's mentioned here a lot.
Any answers?

I beg to differ, sir. It is indeed classified as an explosive. Check the jug.Seeing as black powder is not an "explosive" I don't think it's insane to keep it in the house.
Turn in your Man Card on the way out, Mr. "69 cal".When all else fails, read the instructions on the back of the powder container for storage instructions.
Great. Holy black AND methane. They'll see that one from the ISS.I keep mine in the out house lol
