    wetted nitrocellulose (a key component of smokeless powder) reclassified by ATF?

    http://www.alloutdoor.com/2016/08/30...o-prices-roof/

    With no advance warning or grandfather/compliance period, the ATF has apparently reclassified smokeless powder as a high explosive.

    Has anyone seen, confirmed or debunked this? It seems that it would instantly destroy reloading and be a huge blow to the ammo industry at every level, including supplying the military.

    Wow, no grace period?

    I'd be surprised if this stands, this really screws LE and Mil too.

    If it sticks I'm pretty much screwed. Baby on the way + huge jump in mortgage = shit outta luck on gun powder money.

    It says powder and primers aren't included in that article.
