Yeah I saw that about NH! Here in PA we’ve been pretty locked down but there’s been talk about expanding the allowed categories. Fingers crossed. The more states that loosen up, the better for everyone in the industry.

What’s your burst charge composition? I’ve found that switching to a 70/30 KP/AL mix gave me noticeably cleaner breaks compared to straight BP. Less smoke, more pop. Takes some fine tuning but worth the effort.

in reply to: New ATF regulations for 2026 – what changed? #5499

Yeah I saw that too. The main change I noticed was the allowance for up to 100 lbs of 1.4G in a residential garage without special permits, up from 50. That’s a pretty big deal for collectors. Still need to keep it away from ignition sources obviously but it opens up a lot of options. Make sure you’re reading the federal register version though, the summaries floating around miss some details.
