You also need a box to store the black powder in, needs to be an approved design.

The other guys shoot .58 so it must be ok I guess.
I thought that only applied to 'gun powder' and not Pyrodex or one of the other substitutes?

Correct - the revised storage rules apply to "real" black powder.
The substitutes (pyrodex, Triple 7) need no special storage, nor an explosives licence.

Probably so, but I have seen certain club people flouting range limits & rules they ought to know about. (No names).
As the man in Orthopedic shoes said "I stand corrected". I knew the licence wasn't needed, but thought the box was. Thanks for clearing it up.
