Disposing of powder when you die.

[Rod B]

Once I am gone I won't give a sh!t about my stock of powder.

 

[Ganderite]

I'm not going until I shoot it all....

 

[maple_leaf_eh]

I might ask my wife to pack my powder and reloads into my pockets before stuffing me into the crematorium. You CAN take it with you!

 

[arcticcathonda]

I'm not going until I shoot it all....

Agreed!

Good idea.

 

[landphil]

I'm gonna eat it - mixed in my porridge. I'll have the most explosive farts in the whole wrinkle ranch.

I'm not going until I shoot it all....

That's a strong statement from a guy who recently came across a couple BARRELS of powder he forgot he had... (not sure if forgot is the best word)

I left clear instruction in my will and names who to contact at the club who will assist my mrs with desposing or selling off of all my reloading supplies , firearms etc ,powder included

 

[Claybuster]

Opened cans should be able to be inspected for rust or strong smell. It has been my experience that if a sealed can looks normal with no swelling the powder inside is fine. Swollen or damaged cans aren't even considered to acquire.

I agree on sealed cans that look normal. Anything else I won't touch.

A few years back I was given about 50lbs. of very old powder from a friend of a friend. Only one can was sealed and was fine. The rest was either opened, didn't smell right or in unidentifiable containers with hand-written labels. It made for a brief but impressive display in the burn pit.

What is the legal situation with the estate when all these hoarder fudds start dying off and leave 20 year supply of reloading powder behind ?

I'm going to will all of mine to the ill-prepared, entitled little whiners, just as they deserve it.

 

[Dogleg]

I picturing a huge hour-glass filled with powder; trickling away the remaining days of my life. Is that weird?

 

[fiddler]

Why would it have to be disposed of? I still have good powder from my Father that he had before I was born. As long as it has been stored correctly, just keep using it.

 

[Gypsytrain]

Use it at the funeral, pack it in and blow me to kingdom come Big Budda Boom.

 

[trebor2880]

I can't take mine with me. It won't keep where I'm going!

 

[mudgunner49]

As someone posted already - make it a part of my Viking funeral!!!

 

[stampede]

I'm going to will all of mine to the ill-prepared, entitled little whiners, just as they deserve it.

Gee. Thanks Andy.

By the way , how are you feeling ?

 

[c-fbmi]

As with you Andy, I'm sure mine will go to a couple ill prepared entitled little whiners...........my 2 boys.........but they're MY entitled little whiners and I love 'em..........They will squander this great resource that I have amassed with in very few years, possibly months and then they will be back to being ill prepared entitled little whiners...........just no longer my problem.......

I've seen it sold off at firearms auctions. The executor contacts the auctioneer and goes from there.

Best dollar value for those who have no desire for advertising, shipping etc. One call and send the check when sold.

 

[sunray]

"fudds" is a derogatory term. Violates forum rules.
There is no legal anything involved. All your stuff becomes part of your estate and get dealt with by your executor.
You guys never heard of pyramids?

 

[kjohn]

Depends. See my sig line. I do hope there is a gun range in heaven, though.
