Blimey, I said I wanted 2kg so I could buy one and then buy a replacement before it runs out without going over. He said 2 was all he would issue anyhow, but there is nothing on the certificate.
Fill my boots time :-D

Re: Explosives licence
Is it me or does that link content not make sense?
"THE MANUFACTURE AND STORAGE OF EXPLOSIVES REGULATIONS 2005
New storage requirements came into effect from the 26 April 2005.
Black Powder must be stored in a wooden box. The Maximum amount of Nitro or Shooting Powder that an individual can hold is 5Kg
The maximum Black Powder that an individual can hold is 10 Kg plus 5 Kg of either Black Powder or Shooters Powder (Nitro Powder)"
My understanding is that an individual can hold up to a maximum of 15kgs (whatever that is in proper weights I don't know) of all black powder and propellants including what is in primers and loaded ammunition. After that you need to start notifying people and getting further storage licenses.
I stand to be corrected on this.

Re: Explosives licence
The latest legislation is The Explosives Regulations 2014:
Authorisation to store explosives
7.—(1) Subject to paragraph (2), no person may store explosives unless that person holds a licence for their storage and complies with the conditions of that licence.
(2) Paragraph (1) does not apply to—
(a)the storage of one or more of the following—
(i)no more than 10 kilograms of shooters’ powder;
(ii)no more than 5 kilograms of—
(aa)shooters’ powder; or
(bb)any hazard type 3 or 4 explosive, or desensitised explosive, which is not a relevant explosive, or a combination of hazard type 3 or 4 explosives, or desensitised explosives, which are not relevant explosives; or
(cc)a combination of shooters’ powder and any hazard type 3 or 4 explosives, or desensitised explosives, which are not relevant explosives;
(iii)no more than 15 kilograms of percussion caps or small arms ammunition or a mixture of them;
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2014 ... ion/7/made
My interpretation of the above is that you can hold 15kg (33 LBs) of assembled ammo and percussion caps in addition to your Black Powder licenced holding (Paragraph iii). Subject of course to your FAC ammo holding, The same applying to Nitro powder (shooters powder) in addition to your 10kg (22 LB) holding without requiring a licence.
