SAAMI - Powder & Primer Safety Practices

Thought these brochures from SAAMI would be of interest to others.

The storage reg references for powder and primers in a residence are from the National Fire Protection Act, which has been adopted by most of the larger municipalities.

I am not aware that it has been adopted at the state law level in Texas.

10,000 primers max in a residence

They take the fun out of everything.

Very good info. I might know a few folks who are in violation.

I remember once being down close to 10,000 primers....

No one is going to enforce it.

Especially in this state.

Man cave/reloading room is not connected to the house so I am good. All wood construction.
