Yeah bilko,just dipped my toe in SA Explosives Act.Now need a large rum and some panadol. Will be seeing my local constabulary this week to register my new toys so might ask them the same question and see what they have to say.On a lighter note, been watching mobs of goats wander through my sons property almost daily for weeks.Since bringing home the Tikka,they have all been noticable by their absence.Hope they return soon.Love a nice young kid on a spit.
Roo Farmer ,unless i can find different,I 'll just go with your suggestion.Any way,that rum is calling.Thanks fellas.

Store your powder in its original containers in a cool dry place in a locked wooden box. Store primers separate from powder and also in a cool dry place, preferably timber box but can be metal. The reason for timber is that in the even of ignition the timber will splinter and splinters typically have a lower velocity compare to steel shrapnel from a metal box.

Do you reckon the powder would explode Brett or just burn out quickly - we need myth busters to do an experiment on it to see if it would I've got my doubts to be honest.

I got it from the regs that powder needs to be in a timber box, I've seen personally what happens when powder ignites when stored in an old fridge. My cousin spent a month in hospital, shattered 18 out of 20 sheets of fibro the shed was made from and put the chair he was sitting on through the door and it was only a couple of kg. Keeping them separate makes sense as one is impact sensitive and the other not so much. I have a fairly large magazine, with at times >250k primers and 50kg of propellent. They are in a large timber cabinet on shelves with the powder at the bottom and primers at the top but kept separate from each other. Even the uncle who had the local explosives magazine at Maules Creek in the 80's stored the gelignite in timber boxes. Black powder needs to be kept at least 15m from smokeless from memory, might actually be more and this is the reason not many shops sell black powder as they don't have the real estate to keep them physically separate. I keep a few kgs in my office wardrobe appropriately locked up and clearly labelled. I'll see if I can find the regs and paste a link as it's a good read if you need help getting to sleep

In WA the storage of gunpowder falls under the Mines Department.
It requires you to store ALL powder (regardless of quantity) in a wooden box made from 19mm timber, painted in a light colour so you can see any spilt powder, and with the required stickers on the box. The box is not to be bolted down so that in the case of an emergency it can be removed. It also needs to be lockable.
For a more in-depth answer and the stickers required here is a link to the DMP site.

I love this little exchange.
It is neat window into today's world.
The original poster, incensed by the commentary implying his personal indolence, lets fly, too dull witted at that moment to grasp the real import of the offending putative sarcasm which is -Think For Yourself.
Sadly a substantial part of the advice freely offered on the internet of a legal nature isn't worth the paper it's written on and other advice is often just mindless repetition of advertising or promotional jibberish.
