Smokless Powder box???!!!
Posted: Mon Feb 04, 2019 11:21 am
I am hearing from a number of shooters that a wooden box is now being asked for smokeless powder storage. Surrey appear to have a tickbox on their FAC form "Are you reloading" which seems to be prompting a request for wooden powder storage box. Even though they are not issuing Explosives licence for Black Powder. They appear to be pointing shooters to Explosives HSE advice. As I understand it while the HSE advice does not secify smokeless or not it is for Blackpowder storage.
Some shooters I have talked to are new and dont want to rock the boat with their FAO so just accept request to get a box.
Have the rules changed?
Is there a clear statement/document can be referenced?
If we start to accept stuff like this it will become the law?!?!
What are others finding?
* I have posted this in General rather than reloading as about licence rules etc. Move if you wish*
