I could confuse the issue even more....
What about shooters powder that is supplied in brass and plastic cases.... It doesn't mention what shooters powder or what is comes in does it?
I don't fancy making up a wooden box to put all my shotty carts and Russian bangs in, and then trying to fit all that in my ammo safe....

Mine will remain exactly as yours....

If you look at page 48 of the regs you'll see that 'Smokeless Powder' is defined as powder outside of ammunition. So different security rules can apply.

This issue surfaced again today when I was at a local gun shop. They have an e-mail from the Cambridge "Firearms and Explosives Licensing Manger" that states:
"all 'shooters powder', whether black powder or nitro, to be stored in the 'black powder' box. This applies to both homes storage and at RFD premises. In the future there must be no open display of such powders in any premises."

I don't know... I thought everyone disregarded this due to poorly written guidance that was under review. Is he right or is he wrong? Is this now law or not?
