Can anyone tell me what is the legal allowance of smokeless powders and primers a person is allowed to keep at any one time. I have been told it can include loaded rounds. Ronboy

5kg - this includes loaded rounds and primers and you need to take into account any shotgun cartridges, after that you need a certificate. Having said that my FEO always shrugged when I mentioned it and said he thought it only applied to RFD's...

5kgs.

1000 primers is fairly run of the mill... infact, can you even buy them in quantities less? :p

You can buy primers by the 100. There is a specific allowance for primers when calculating the 5kgs, I will dig the information out when we get back. We also exceed 5kgs on occasion.....

10. What explosives may be stored without registering premises?
One or more of the following: a. 10kg black powder; and
b. No more than 5kgs of one of the following options -
i. shooters’ powder (black or nitro - powders)
ii. any explosive or combination of explosives listed in
Schedule 1 of COER 1991. (See Annex A)
iii. a combination of shooters powder and any one or
more of the explosives listed in schedule 1 of COER
1991. (See Annex A)
and also
c. 15kg net explosive content or one or other of the
following, or a combination of them –
i. small arms ammunition
ii. primers for use in small arms ammunition or
percussion caps or;
NB: whichever of the options in ‘c’ above you may select, the total explosive contents of the items
must only ever add up to 15 kg. As a rule of thumb, .6 grain is usually used as the explosive
content of primers and caps. If you are in doubt about the amount in particular primers, the
manufacturer’s data sheets or your supplier should have the information.
For those who will require to keep more than 5 kg of nitro-powders please see the note at the end
of paragraph 8 above.
