Storing cartridges

[Dog Tyred]

Thats only because you had em in the wrong pocket Pal.

PS- You shot very well yesterday, very nice last line

Cheers. Missed two together in the middle. Could have done without the 17 mind but still my PB for UT. Next target is 80+

Shooting birds only for classification so no great loss.

To clarify how many squibs you can store at home. HSE explosive storage regulations state you can have 15kg of small arms powder stored indefinately or 100 kg for 3 days without the requirement to have an explosive license. 15 k of powder equates to approx 9,500 shells with an average of 25 grains of powder in each one. This fluctuates with powder type and obviously how much is stuffed in em as per manufacturers loading tables. 100 Kilos  is 61,000 shells. You wouldn't have an explosion, but your house will burn fiercely.

I dunno, powder inside a shell isn't exactly powder in a cask though. There's a Kalashnikov inside every car if you hire the A team.
