I've recently come across this document regarding limits, by weight, of ammo storage per dwelling.

An excerpt from it states:
Storage for Use:
Dwelling
A person may acquire and store up to 225 kilograms net explosives quantity of ammunition for use in a dwelling.
When small arms cartridges are stored in a dwelling:
they must be stored away from flammable substances and sources of ignition. People not authorized by the retailer must not be given unlimited access to the cartridges.
Anyone else aware of this regulation? Lead is pretty heavy, 2 spam cans of 7.62 is 30kg alone. Time to start weighing?

Part 14. Small Arms Cartridges, Propellant Powder and Percussion Caps
This Part authorizes the acquisition, storage and sale of small arms cartridges, propellant powder and percussion caps, and includes the requirements for the manufacturing of small arms cartridges and black powder cartouches for personal use. A reference to mass in this Part means the net quantity (mass of the explosives excluding the mass of any packaging, container, shell casing, or projectile).
Q. What are the limits on the number of small arms cartridges anyone can purchase and store?
There is no change. The limit is based on the amount of 225 kilograms of explosives in the cartridges. Therefore, the number of cartridges would depend on the calibre, e.g., 2.8 million .22-calibre cartridges or 100 000 12-gauge shot shells. Amounts beyond this would require a magazine licence.
Hey Scrounger...
Thanks for that good information. I was ready to get my bathroom scale out. 2.8 million 22 rounds....I better start collecting.
Cool I still have room for 180Kg. then. 😉

I don't. LOL

This mentions in a dwelling, so if one were to have 225kg of explosives in their dwelling that's one thing, but what about outbuildings like barns/shops/sheds or whatever?
Thanks Scrounger.

No problem.
