Has anybody been made aware of the changes in the requirements for storing reloading powders?
Apparently new requirements from the Health and Safety Directorate are in force???

No. Any idea what they are?
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Re: Powder storage - changes to the rules
That's what I'm asking!
I heard from an RFD that changes are coming in or are in but I can find nothing on the HSE website.

I'd take it with a pinch of salt. I can't see anything when trawling around official, organisation or importers sites.
What did shock me was when I ended up on Edgar Bros site. The recommended retail price for Alliant powders averages at £69 a tub!!!

Did I see somewhere that 777 has been reclassified as an explosive?
Re: Powder storage - changes to the rules
Yep. There’s a thread on here, I’m sure.

Re: Powder storage - changes to the rules
more made up rules? the containers are perfectly safe. more issues arise from calor cannisters, but there are no laws with those!
When guns are outlawed, only Outlaws will have guns
