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

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

You're letting facts get in the way of emotion. Of course that never stopped hoarders and speculators before.

The only thing that will stop your ability to get ammo and components is spreading panic with shit like this thread.

Not my fault I can't read... I've already texted my guy that I was coming buy. See what you've made me do Internet!?

The way I read, it was once it's loaded in to a case it becomes small arms ammunition. However before that point it's classified an explosive.

Powders and primers are exempt. Others are not until incorporated into one of the lists.

I'm not a lawyer so my opinion is worth zero. But I think we are safe with powder and primers. If not, I'm glad all mine were lost in that flood in my garage

Once the wetted nitrocellulose is incorporated in small arms ammunition or a component thereof, such as gunpowder, it is exempt.

I think this affects one of the main precursor materials used to make (among other things) smokeless powder,

Classification of wetted nitrocellulose as a high explosive (thus voiding current agreements, letters, etc.) imposes more stringent storage, handling, and other requirements which will affect the production of powder for use in commercial and personal loading.

So powder and loaded cartridges are not affected but the supply of materials to manufacture the powder may be disrupted.

You can't make ammo without powder, and you have to be able to make the powder.

Word. Instead of going full tilt panic over every internet rumor I recommend these steps.
1) Reach down and grab your manhood.
2) Ask yourself what John Wayne would do.
3) CALM THE FUCK DOWN.

John Wayne probably pissed black and smokeless powders, so, I can understand why he wouldn't get too worried over all of this.
