Black powder is an explosive & you need 2 licences - one to buy it, another to transport it (ie: to and from the range). In addition you need an 'approved' storage box, to a very specicic design. Cheapest I've seen for these is about £90 but if you have a look at the BP section on here you'll find a set of plans for a DIY box.
My Dad makes nicely finished boxes that meet all MSER 2005 regulations. He is contactable on 07894 340212 or email to blackpowderstoragebox@gmail.com.

He has 100% feedback and comments saying police check was all fine.
