another slope? I heard from a friend that the ATF is changing its definition of explosives to include the "smokeless powder" used in small arms ammunition. An industry newsletter discussing this is http://www.ammoland.com/2016/08/atf-reclassifies-wetted-nitrocellulose-as-explosive-materials-under-federal-laws/#axzz4Ikveu3Mq
It's not clear to me how this affects the regulations regarding the manufacture, storage and shipment of ammunition and the smokeless powder used to product it- especially after reading the ATF Explosives Industry Newsletter at https://www.atf.gov/file/106536/download which includes Smokeless Powder on its list of Explosive Materials. However today's Addendum https://www.atf.gov/file/109341/download seems to corroborate the concern mentioned in the industry newsletter cited above. --henry schaffer
