I've starting removing bullets and powder from unused old ammo from a friend. What is the proper way to dispose of the powder?
...
Now figuring out which powder measure to get. Suggestions?

LOL, I've gotta chuckle at that one. I had o whole keg of powder go bad a few years back so I tossed it my spreader and fertilized my lawn.Sprinkle it on the lawn. It makes good fertilizer. Water it in if you want. No need to start a fire with it...
That's good to know KB!!!Last powder fire I was involved in scorched second degree burns on the right side of my face and right shoulder/ upper arm. Burning powder can flare and the intense flash will start stuff on fire 30 feet away (like me). The total amount of powder involved was about 3#. Spread it on the lawn like fertilizer. NEVER dispose of powder by burning.
BTW, fire extinguishers won't put out a powder fire....
