                  Too much is when you have to rent a warehouse to store it.

                    An expensive way to buy bulk powder. But that's their choice.

                        You might also want to build a powder magazine to store it. The recommendation is a one inch thick wooden cabinet that is vented. I was a little skeptical about a wood cabinet until I discovered the reason: wood insulates while a metal cabinet will quickly transfer the heat from a fire to the powder and set it off.

                          8 lb red dot 12 127.99. With gift card it brought it down to 95.00 plus tax. Pretty hard deal to beat. No hazmat

                            Has anyone ever heard of this actually being enforced in California?

                            They must not spend much time on Calguns reading frantic, fear-inducing posts like this:

                              I seriously doubt Sacramento is going to send around inspectors. The bigger issue might be a fire insurance claim that gets denied if you have more than the "allowed" amount stored on the premises.
