Looks like I better get stocked-up on reloading supplies. BTW - does anyone know the shelf life of say H1000. I'm trying to decide how many pounds of powder I should have on hand; if it will stay consistent over the next 20 years, I might just buy enough to last me that long. |

whole thing is a scam.... The Institue of Makers of Explosives and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute were the ones that called for the reform in the first palce. I've read most of the document...(if you want the gists of it you can start on page 47 for a summary) Almost ALL of the proposals are not new regulations... they are only rewording of current regulations to make them more understandable. The reference to evacuating the building in a lightening storm is also hogwash...It has been OSHA requirements since 1972 to require employers to remove employees from the blasting area duing the approach and progress of an electrical store.... They are only revising the definition to add "to require the suspension of explosive manufacturing operations" ... "requires the immediate withdrawl of employees located near explosives" The only thing this proposal is doing is redefining the rules that are already in place. I'm guess that the author of this was in kahutz with an explosives manufacturer that was somehow affected by one of the VERY FEW new rules... maybe they were storing all of their ammonium sulfate in a wooden barn with a straw roof??? And not they will have to build a new warehouse... Either way there is ABSOLUTLY nothing that I could find in the proposal that would lead me to beleive that there will be even a minimal effect on the consumer of firearms. If someone could find something that says otherwise... I'd be glad to listen. Back to top |

I'm not inclined to discard this as a scam without understanding some more specifics. Let's start with - page 47. Feel free to point something if anything out about this page or elsewhere which should gather my attention and discard what people from the firearms and hunting industry are calling out. |
