    .36 or .32 caliber

    I should also say i do try to shoot off hand and i believe if a person used a rest you could get way better groups at 50 yrds or further.My 25 yrd group is using a rest.

    storing bp in a deep freezer

    I was told to store bp for long periods that to put it in a deep freezer.It would also prevent on exploding in a deep freezer in the event of a fire.Has anyone heard or storing this way?I would think that when you take powder out to go shooting that it would be clumpy with moisture.
