	I sometimes meter BP through a Redding BR measure. It has not blown up once. At matches, shooters tend to stand back and some even leave the firing line. I figure that's okay because there's less chance of me getting distracted.

	So in effect you're saying that if you don't test anything, you don't have to mention the dangerous characteristics? That's an easy way to make it safe! FWIW, the energy levels you mentioned are for igniting dust clouds above LEL and are pretty high. Something you might encounter in an industrial environment (like industrial production of gunpowder), but most certainly not when reloading. It takes an awful amount of airborne dust to have an ignitable dust cloud.

	I measure BP with a digital scale that has a metal pan. Same with two different regular reloading balance scales. BP used to come it metal cans with metal lids. it's a wonder something hasn't blown up yet. I still have a case of GOEX in cans. i try not to smoke a pipe or cigar when loading in the basement but sometimes I forget.

	You should take a lesson from Ron Long to heart, it is never too late. I would not want the same outcome for you Joe.

	Okay, please fill those unknowing ones of us in. What was Ron Long's accident?

I'm over sixty so I now know no one gives a shit. They just act like they do. Rons incident had nothing to do with smoking near BP or metal cans. It was a spark from a flint. I don't mess around with flints when I'm smoking or messing with BP so I'm covered. Flints are dangerous!

	Joe, I will not continue the discussion, as Ron is not here to tell us the truth. I am just repeating what Ron told me. What you said may have some truth to it, but ,regardless, I would not wish the same for you, or any one else for that matter. You may take it however you wish.

	My memories go back to 1985, when Ron told me the story. Details are hard to keep that long. I've been doing it all wrong now for over fifty years and I ain't got blowed up yet so I'll just keep on doing it my way.
