Powder storage for 50+ lb

[Frozenguy]

I did some searching but want to make sure my understanding is correct.


Storage of 20-50 lb has to be in a 'magazine' which many people construct some box made of 1" thick wood or some sort.

You can have multiple 50 lb capacity magazines on the same property if for personal use

At the end of the day, more severe restrictions might be in place by the local .gov

Is the local .gov restriction info usually online or is there a place I can call that wont be annoyed with my call.
Any of that need correction or is just false?
What about primers?

You need to look up California Law

20lbs is max for smokeless powder
1lb max for black powder

Is this new? What the hell was I reading then. See this is why I double check.

California is stupid. They define smokeless powder as an explosive, but a loaded cartridge as not.

Who follows this?
20 lb max on property?!

[Whiterabbit]

yup, so buy that ONE pound of 2f for your flintlock. You get less than 90 shots. Of course, the moment you buy one drop of 4f so you can prime the pan, it's a crime...

The thing you need to worry more about than anything is if something was to happen and your insurance company learned that you had over a limit of powder they may not choose to validate your claim.

My summer project is going to be to installing sprinklers in my garage.

Lol, my garage goes up, there will be nothing left! All of automotive repair fluids/ paints fuel and oxy/acetylene rig, propane etc... Hell it might just take off like a giant skyrocket. I just hope I can at least see the process at a safe distance.

How friendly are you with your neighbors? Get them to have a storage bin/cabinet on the edge of their property that you can have access to to put 20 lbs of powder in it. Then you can hit up your neighbors on all three sides of your house (if you live in a house) and lawfully store about 80 lbs of powder.

Else, Due to this being a public forum and atf and fire guys and LEO watching, we ALLLLLLL abide by the rules and store NO MORE THAN 20 LBS of powder on our property... SHAME SHAME on anyone that does not follow that stupi-err rule...

Yes, unfortunately, there are some things you should not ask or post on the internet.
