[QUOTE="scope-eye, post: 2138281, member: 21274"] You can't make this poop up, when I was growing up I lived in a little town named Nitro It's in Quebec Canada "look it up all you want" the towns main employer was a company named CIL. I guess you could call it the DuPont of Canada they made explosives and yes there were accidents and loud booms and Explosions on a regular basis. "the whole town shook" I think if I remember correctly they use to make rounds for Howitzers, Anyways my buddies father use to come home with these 5 gallon "Jerry can" type of container and it had powder in them he was high up in the company and could just walk out with it and no one said Boo imagine that today. Now where was I oh ya he was a big time hunter in northern Quebec, you know Caribou, Bear, stuff like that. He had to have the most unique gun collection I have ever seen, it was all these large calber rifles 404 Jeffry 416 Rigby 458 Lott even some 500 stuff and even larger than that but I don't remember what they exactly were. But I do remember him telling me when he reloaded these large calibers that he use to start by loading 5gr of pistol powder first and then proceed to load that mystery powder to top off the case. I asked him why he did that he said that the powder was too slow and used it as an igniter, "his powders little helper" he use to call it. I will always remember him he was larger than life and was very well read and knew everything and there was no Google back then. I remember the house was not that big but it had it's own library.
