Powder storage box

After these pics were taken I labeled each "EXPLOSIVE".

Smokless Powder is class 1.3C, Black Powder is classed as 1.1D and primers could be class as either 1.4S or 1.4B. ALL are considered as explosives in IAW the Transportation of Dangerous Goods act, NCAN and the UN, whether or not you like or agree with!

Hey Guys!!

I'm just making up my plans for the box and found myself wondering. Can I put primers and powder in the same box if I have a 3/4" plywood divider in the box?

You can do that w/o the divider, the requirement do not distinguish between primers and propellants.

FROM CSSA WEBSITE

Store Your Powder Safely

The storage of gun powder is regulated by the explosives act, r.S.C. 1990. you may keep a maximum of 12 kg. In a dwelling if it in a suitable container. this is specified to be a box of 3/4 inch thick wood, no ferrous fittings (use brass, bronze, or glue), be locked and labelled aexplosives@. only 2 kg. Can be out of the box at any one time to be used. this means that when you are finished reloading you must return the unused powder to the locked box. the ministry of energy mines and resources recommends that anyone who contravenes this be charged under the criminal code with unsafe storage of ammunition. to the ministry there is no distinction between black powder and smokeless powder. primers are to be similarly stored.
 
I went to Rona and bought a couple of the cheap particle board (a form of "wood") cabinets & threw them together.

Nothing says it has to be 3/4 inch
Nothing says it has to be pine (or spruce or walnut or any other Go**amn species)
Nothing says the hardware and lucks have to be brass or copper

Hmmm. Looks like you are slightly over the ammount of powder allowed by law.

I'm gonna tell on you! Na-na-na-na-nah-na.......;)

That is one of the easiest and best suggestions for a powder mag I have seen.
My wife will love not having to see my messy loading area now. :D
 
so my packs of primers that i vacumed sealed, stored in green air tight ammo can ,
is not accepetable?
I think i may have found a use for my empty .762x39 ammo crate.
 
I like the way the Gooberment thinks things out. Again from the CSSA web site:

When you are reloading you should be in an area dedicated to reloading, no fumes, matches, smoking, no lights that can cause an explosion. Only 2 kg can be out of the locked box and in the room with you. At the end of the session all the explosives must be returned to the locked box. And you cannot resell or give away these cartridges. If you intend to, you need a license and more restrictions must be met. If you do not follow this you will be liable to be charged with unsafe storage under the Criminal Code.

So I guess if you have an 8 lb container of powder it can never be in the room with you, therefore it has to stay in the powder box forever. Maybe you could suck up to 2 kg out of the bottle with a vacuum while the original container remains in the powder box, then bring the vacuum bag with you into the reloading room.:rolleyes:
