    Gun powder burns fiercely not explodes...the can would rupture and there would be huge flares. Black powder is something different as is nitro. They high order. Primers just sound like popcorn popping. Meantime there's things jumping all over. We have others here that have done this too...can lend experiences.
    Regards, Jim

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I'll stick with the real GI metal ammo cans. They were designed to be watertight and tested thoroughly under all conditions for any potential hazard. For storing primers, powder or loaded ammo, I'd say they're a lot safer than the commercial plastic cans. There's a reason that you don't see plastic ammo cans in the real world of military use.
