Are you Satisfied?

This is "#putinsammopricehike"....just getting ahead of the media!!

Wait till ww3 finally gets into the fighting stage, there won't be anything on the shelf.
Right now it seems to be in the financial and cyber attack stage. But make no mistake about it. It's in its early stage.

I keep bulk powder in a huge 3/8" plate steel locker that is 5' long by 30"hx30" deep.

A fire is going to have to really work to ever get into that crate and I leave the lid unlatched so that should it happen, it may flash but it won't explode.

All the relevant local emergency responders are also aware of what I have and where it is stored so they don't have to worry about it.

Now you got me thinking. I need to just keep that safe door pushed closed, but not latched or locked, don't I?

Store your stash in separated, heavy wood boxes, 6-20 pounds per box, in an insulated, secure, ventilated, cool, dry place. Separating the boxes with 5/8 inch sheet rock and distance is wise. Two by 10's or 12's & deck screws make nice boxes. Keep boxes off concrete floor with 2X lumber. Label with felt tip - type, amount, lot number & date, dates on each box. Be sure lids are screwed down nice & tight.

Setting off a big bunch of primers in their plastic containers by heat might be sort of like a chain reaction. Keep the primers away from the powder. Same type boxes.

More tough times before it gets better.

I only need Varget at present time !

I keep seeing 205 elite hunters available. I may try those instead of the 215, just a thought for you.

I've been seen 210 VLD. I'll keep my eye out and nab some if you'd like.

I've found a good approach is to change what I think I need. I've sold all my h1000, rl23, 7977, and a few other "panic powders" and have taken the opportunity to get to know some less loved powders that are more frequently in stock (superformance, leverevolution, a few others) for decent prices still. I didn't want to quit shooting, had lots of
Other expenses…so i sold my h1000 for
Three times what I paid for it ON AUCTION…didn't rip anyone off, just put it out there for the highest bidder on a gun auction.

I saw Superformance for $29.99 at Murdoch's . Leverloution a couple places $32

 

[WYO300RUM]

well, I guess my sarcasm was lost, sounded too serious...???

Not to some keep it up brother .

 

[WYO300RUM]

Well, my sarcasm is often lost even face to face because I have such a hard look and macabre sense of humor. It doesnt change much.

You keep me smiling

I have more than my 4 local sporting goods stores combined. I've been steadily collecting since before the Obummer administration. Satisfied, but anytime I see a deal I'm buying more.

You from Sacramento or Mendocino ?

I have not purchased any reloading components since Covid hit in March of 2020. What I have done, however, is load for rifles I had older components around due to my lack of shooting them and having them buried in the back of my safe. Other than using some primers I could have used for some guns I was shooting I used them on some older ones I had powder and bullets for. Additionally, to being fun, I also got a couple of my grandchildren interested. Now, they want my safe queens!

Flash burns would be my biggest concern but I sure wouldn't want to be on a closed room when it lit up either. Probably a very low order explosion just blowing the windows but the following vacuum is going to suck in a huge amount of oxygen creating a secondary, probably larger flash.

I have some considerable experience with explosive ordnance and a lot of training in particular with the storage of ammo and powder.

You'd be hard pressed to have enough of either to blow up a house and have to store it in a particularly unsafe manner creating a pressure vessel to get the whole thing started.

I get why FF's don't want to enter such a storage area during a fire but if they know what they're doing the risk of explosion is way down the ladder of concerns or should be.

Now fireworks are a completely different equation where an explosive risk is always very high with bulk storage.

Wouldn't storing powder in a safe be the wrong thing to do? You may have commented on it and I missed it.

I was at a gun raffle at the volunteer local fire hall last September and got to talking guns with the chief. After telling him where I live, he indicated I was already on his list. He went on to explain that he will be the first one in the door to rescue the powder. The glimmer in his eye indicated that he meant to say liberate instead of rescue.

Thanks but I will pass, I actually have some 215s and a long wait for my action. It was supposed to be done this month but now they are saying September

Fires and ammunition.
