RE: packing powder for a trip
I think what you are asking is how to carry the powder. If traveling on a commercialairplane it is not legal; you would have to buy it after arriving. If traveling by car just pack it where it will not get too hot or crushed. Powder is quite stable in the original containers. Some think static electricity will set off real black powder but several tests have been done that pretty much eliminate that as much of a risk.

I believe the same is true for primers/caps!

thanks for correcting me keith. just got off work when I started this one. brain dead at that point.[8D]
it is all driving. so pritty much it will have to travel with it in the front with me.

I thank it is an excuse to spend more time with my father in law. which I see maybe once a year and talks to me on my birthday and holidays.

Corey, where in Florida?
Anywhere close to up my way (Fort Walton Beach/Destin) and I can help out with the shooting supplies and you won't have tocarry that much, or buy new.
My little beach town is 45 miles east of Pensacola, up in the panhandle.
If you come near here, I'd like to meet ya!
I was sitting in my canoe with my fishing pole a thermos of coffee and a Partagas cigar watching the sun come up over Rocky Bayou about 2 weeks ago.
