Where does it state that you have to lock up powder and primers?
storage and possession of propellant powders
possession and personal use

exclusively for propellants. No federal licence or possession permit is required for this type of storage. The outside of the magazine must be marked with the word “explosive.” no flammable or highly combustible material may be stored in or near the magazine.

percussion caps (primers):
Storage and possession
possession for own use
23 a reasonable number of percussion caps (primers) for one's own use, and not for sale, may be kept
on residential or other property, out of reach of children and away from heat and substances of a
flammable nature. Such storage must be separated from propellant storage in a locked container or
receptacle marked “explosives.”
no federal licence or permit to possess is required for such
storage.
