That’s about smokeless powder. IIRC smokeless powder is what one uses in reloading. The article states he had 300# of black powder - quite a bit more flammable. They’re lucky they didn’t blow the place up if they were using jaws of life on a safe full of that stuff.

Yup. Black powder is an explosive and if it was stored inside a safe could make quite a bomb.

I suspect that it was all stored responsibly. A person that keeps multiple safes for his firearms and teaches black powder firearms courses seems like the kind of guy who would. They are just ignorant cops trying to make a big deal of nothing, so as to justify their “you must respect my authority” attitude. The warrant sounds bogus.
He uses the black powder for antique firearms.
