Montey Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Am I rite in thinking there is a limit to the amount of powder a person can legally store at home? Not black powder obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One on top of two Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 15Kg of ALL smokeless powder on premises that’s including shotgun carts . when I was doing lots of clay shooting on the circuit we used to chip in ( 3 of us ) and buy a pallet load which had 26K thay had to be split in at least 2 different locations, and no not 13k under the stairs and the other 13k in the garage , as in spilt and taken away . Depending on the carts I think it was between 10-13k of shells contains around 15 KG of smokeless powder FEO was very strict about it and still are. double check with your Firearms dept Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montey Posted December 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Thanks for the reply I did not consider shot gun cartridges in the equation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One on top of two Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Most don’t . But it all goes FIZZ … POP….BANG ….WHOOOOSH haha. think of the poor fire-persons standing outside your house try to put it out . You can hold more but.... you would need an explosives license and of course meet the conditions of that license 👍👍👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montey Posted December 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Would it make a difference that there are two licence holders at the address both license holders shot gun and FAC does then mean 30kg can be held? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English Rifleman Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 As far as i am aware, you have to include the powder quatity of your loaded cartridges too. I.E not just the loose powder wieght. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Would need to have confirmed by someone in writing but I believe it is 15 kg in total of loose & loaded powder and also includes allowances for primers. There is some form or ratio if you keep BP as well as smokeless hope this link works ( but using my iPhone so possible not 🤷♂️) https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2014/1638/regulation/7/made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
