    storing BP

    Greetings to all:

    Back in February, I posted an inquiry on how to store BP. Ron of McGregors, I took you advice and got that old fridge-freezer combo as recommended and placed it in the shed. It is a side by fridge/freezer. Freezer side for BP and fridge side for paint. Oh yes the ammo is in one pound cans and in an ammo box.

    I find the one pound cans work great/ I can break a 25lb keg down into 22 cans leaving no air in them. Store them away and even years later the powder from can to can is the same long as the seal under the cap is intact.

    I use a blast proof electrical junction box I got off a job site to store them in. It's water/air tight and locks even.
    Never squat with yer spurs on!!!
