    The regulations are probably from 2013, they're amending those regulations.

    I get it now. The regulation is titled "Explosive Regulations, 2013". That is stupid...

    https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/...211/index.html

    So if I'm reading this correctly, there is 3 changes?

    1) Sellers need to record PAL numbers for powder purchases.
    2) Amount of black powder you can possess has been reduced to 25kg from 75kg.
    3) Ammount of binary explosive you can possess has been reduced from 20kg to 6kg.

    Do we know when these changes take effect? That date on that document is ###, and I can't seem to find that on my calendar...

    edit - lol they censored x x x (no spaces)...

    Suther, you can probably comment. Sounds like a move to stop non PAL holders from loading non-PAL required muzzleloaders and antiques. Thoughts?

    Don't need a PAL for black powder I don't think? I'm not sure what category modern BP substitutes like Triple 7 fall under though, and while I don't own any front stuffers I've heard real BP is hard to come by lately so it could cause some people some headaches.

    Honestly I can't imagine muzzleloader users are a big concern to the powers that be. But you don't need a PAL to buy primers, and reloading gear is not restricted in any way, so I COULD see the goal being to restrict criminals from making their own ammo, much like the new rules about needing a PAL for magazines is supposed to help combat 3d printing of guns.

    Is there a better source? When I google "amendments to explosives regulations, 2013" I don't find the actual regulatory changes, just mentions of there being changes coming down the pipe, and I much prefer to read the actual regulations rather than a summary.
