Re: WTB empty plastic powder containers--DFW
Really? A friend of mine tried to light a small amount of smokeless powder on fire once to show me how difficult it was to get it to burn, and we never could get it going. The equally small amount of black powder, on the other hand, which he lit to give me a comparison, went up like... ...like black powder! I was left with the impression that smokeless powder (large roaring house fires excepted) is hard to get to burn outside the confines of a cartridge and chamber, and without being started by a separate small explosive charge in the primer.KD5NRH wrote:Smokeless isn't an explosive, but it still burns really vigorously at the slightest provocation.
Was I wrong about that?

A match will easily start it burning. Rifle powder burns more slowly than stuff like Bullseye or Red Dot. It's not really smokeless either. I guess it's similar to "stainless."The Annoyed Man wrote:Really?

Re: WTB empty plastic powder containers--DFW
Whenever I have unknown powder from pulls or remnants in the measure that I don't remember for sure, I dump it outside and drop a cigarette in. I've never had any of it be hard to light. I've also never had any manage to do more than scorch a piece of pine that it was on. Lots of sparks, bright light and smoke, but not a serious hazard as long as it's not among other flammables.The Annoyed Man wrote:Was I wrong about that?

If you sent it to "Ghost Rider" and not "ghostrider", that could be explained.orionengnr wrote:Ghost Rider--
