    Oh, we Germans can be so lucky, that it's not possible to have that much money laying around at a time... a household must never store more than 6 pounds of powder at a time. 10 pounds if stored in a seperate building where nobody lives. That's the only reason, you guys blow yourself up all the time and we don't.

    Thanks German government!

    Maybe you found some sarcasm in this post... and bitterness.

    If I had 100 pounds of powder I'd figure it was time to start buying again.

    If I had 100lbs of powder it would be time to track down a lot of brass, primers, bullets and a progressive press. Right now I have about 6-8lbs of rifle powder and 2-3 lbs of pistol powder. Also have 4 bricks of mixed primers and some Black in seperate containers. Need some range time, most of my brass has been filled. Only reloading for three rifle calibers and one pistol so a little can go a long way.

    Wow, that sucks. I have more than twice your max allowed powder in Unique alone. But your government is keeping your safe, don't you appreciate that???

    I know I don't. It's pretty worthless stuff. If I could give the +20lbs I have on my shelf away I would but no-one will take it. I'm going to use it for fertilizer in the garden

    That worthless Unique stuff. I don't know what possessed me to buy it. I'm going to put it on Craigs List under the Free Category and see if someone wants the stuff

    I made a nice trade swapping off 8 pounds of unique for some useful powder. [dude gave me 15 pounds of aa-4100 for it, his offer]
    you might be able to do the same..
    now if some-su..err-one will come along and swap something good for a jug of bullseye or two, and another jug of unique I have.

    You know you're a reloader if you have a root cellar for powder storage but don't have one for tornados.

    1 lb. of 3031 only makes about 163 rounds (@43grs./CTG.) of 45-70. If you're feeding more than one 45-70, 3031 can disappear real fast.
