By law between 25 and 50 pounds must be stored in 1" thick wooden magazine.Probably just something to get ya to spend money.
Got a link ?
Both. Primarily smokeless.Is that for black or smokeless?

I'm moving back to Missouri and have to transport just shy of 125 pounds of powder.
The way it reads is under 25 pounds in a passenger vehicle or 25-50 pounds.I assume you're looking at DOT regulations?
Those are for "in commerce" transportation, not personal.
As to the 1" thickness it is either for sturdiness or for burn through time.

Thank you. I think I will still break it into multiple trips. But not worry about a magazine.49CFR 171.1 (d) gives exclusions to the hazardous materials transportation regs.
sub paragraph (6) says "Transportation of a hazardous material by an individual for non-commercial purposes in a private motor vehicle, including a leased or rented motor vehicle."
Not on the out side where they might be subject to impact.
Like the twine boxes on my square balers. They have lids that won't easily open but won't hold pressure. Also not in the vehicle with passengers.Nor easily inspected.....
What's the difference ... both are flammable
The amount of energy is much higher in powder. But either is not a great thing to carry in bulk.What's the difference between carrying extra fuel for RVs or on the jeep and a few pounds of powder ?both are flammable, probably something a brainiac came up with.
I believe the fuel air bomb makes a great case for the hazards of gas. Both should be handled with due diligence. Plastic bags of gasoline are a terrible example provided quite recently. If you are already making several trips why not reduce the large volume, for any number of reasons to include theft, collision etc.Think again. Good thing they actually have "brianiacs" that understand the difference between a Division 1.3 explosive and Division 3 flammable liquid.
It's only a 5 hour run. I don't stop anywhere. But I do agree with keeping risks as minimal as necessary.I believe the fuel air bomb makes a great case for the hazards of gas.

By the time im a couple miles down the road ill be more interested in the traffic jam than my jug of Varget stuffed into tote safe and sound and locked in my trailer.+1
And maybe a small prayer along the way. Cargo and I safely arrived at destination. Good luck.
ill still load it a box or tote and toss it in the trailer
I hear that. I just wanted to make sure I followed the guidelines because conservative states and gun people don't need any more bad publicity whether it's accurate or not.By the time im a couple miles down the road ill be more interested in the traffic jam than my jug of Varget stuffed into tote safe and sound and locked in my trailer.
