Moving with powder?

[Guest sneakboxer]

Duty calls and i need to move from TN to OR. I have 2lb of black powder, 2lb of rifle powder and .5lb of pistol powder i want to take with me. I packed them in a 50cal ammo can tightly with foam and plan to put the can in the trunk of my car for the ride.

Did i just make a bomb? Am i being too cheap? What do you recommend?

I wouldn't pack your strike anywhere matches in the same can, but otherwise I'd be perfectly comfortable with your arrangement.

I tossed my BP powder behind the seat when I moved from Montana to TN...Maybe that's where it is?

That's alot better packed than when it's delivered to the store via UPS/FedEx or whatever.

Youe are good to go.

I threw all of mine in a cardboard box (about 10 pounds) and put it in the trunk when we moved. I did put the primers in a different box though.

How'd you get it home from the store?

Thanks for the reality check. Come to think about it i have had the same can of FFFFG for over ten years and moved 4 times. I did use most of my primers up and will store the rest in a different can.

If only the movers would ship my ammo...
