    Black Powder Question

    I would like to know the temperature at which my Goex 3f powder will ignite. I keep it in a document safe that says

    "After being subjected to temperatures of 1832°F for one and two hours, our safes exceeded industry standards by maintaining an internal temperature below 350°F." (paper ignites at just over 400 degrees)

    hopefully for black powder it's less than 350 degrees?

    thanks in advance everyone!!!

    yours,
