A neighbor called me yesterday wanting to know if I wanted some stuff .....
He describes some fencing materials, I ranch so that’s a given. It’s all going rosy and then he lays the big news!
He was given a significant amount of smokeless powder, predominately in sealed jugs!
I argue with him as he keeps saying he’s going back into handloading and I remind him about that and thus he needs to keep it for now.
So today rolls around and here comes that stash!
Five full unopened new style one pounders of Unique and five one pounders of late style packaged IMR 4198. Two of those had been broken into.
As he was preparing to leave I reminded him that so long as the powder remained unburnt, it was in my book “his” powder to be reclaimed if he began reloading. To that he asks for me to re-acquaint him with the process. I laugh because I have always told him he had that favor “on the books” already so to speak.
Don’t worry, I know how to fertilize lawns, so let’s leave that debate for another thread please.
Anyway, packing home ten pounds of my favorite kind of solid fuel really crowned off a good day!
