Transporting smokeless powder

[358]

Anyone know specifics of transporting powder in a private vehicle? I want to bring some from Dad's place to the farm. More curious than anything. Thanks.

Just going on a whim here. But I’d imagine it’s similar to transporting from the store to home.

I think you’re over thinning this. Load the car. Drive over. Unload car.

I think as long as the bumper isn't dragging on the road causing sparks, you are good to go.

If its a long distance i keep it out of the sun. Other than that buisness as usual

I would avoid a traffic accident - although the fuel in the tank would be more of an issue.

It's not easy to ignite. And when ignited, the burn rate is non explosive, unless accellerated by being confined so that pressure builds. So, treat is as flammable, but in the can (or now, more likely plastic jug) its not anything like a bomb.

Slap one of these on your bumper and you should be good...

There are no specifics. Transportation of Dangerous Goods regulations apply to commercial shipments. Individuals moving personal use quantities in private vehicles are not affected and should absolutely not do things like put random TDG stickers on their bumpers.

I used to visit the factory to buy powder. My little truck was maxed out at 1300 pounds. max volume, max weight. They slapped one of those red labels on the tailgate and I was good to go.

1.4 is more appropriate for propellants.

If you're only going to transport a couple of pounds, or 20 pounds, just put it in the car's trunk or hatch and go home. There's no reason to draw attention to yourself.

When you pick up powder from the local gun shop, do you make special placards or worry about it?

I can see if you're a commercial shipper, adhering to such regulations, but for a one off trip, it doesn't make much sense and there's a good chance you will draw unwanted attention, which you don't need.

Hilarious I was just curious if the liberals had changed any nrcan regs. Powder is at the farm now and mostly sold. All is headed west to new homes.

I call BS on that one 358
