I?ve searched pretty extensively on this subject, but am not finding any definitive answers. I do have a larger A,B,C extinguisher that would likely work fine, but thought I?d ask the longtime pros
Thanks
I have a 10# ABC extinguisher handy should I ever need it.
I am no expert. Consider the following to the the ramblings of a crazy man on the internet.
An ABC is probably not gonna do a thing for gunpowder as the gunpowder has it's own oxidizer.
But....
If you follow a good reloading practice and have the minimum amount of powder out, the powder will have burned up completely by the time you get your extinguisher ready to go. So, you won't actually be working on a gunpowder fire, but a traditional home goods fire that was initially started using gunpowder as an accelerant.
So I think an ABC would be fine.
Thanks, I never have much powder out, or in the immediate area when reloading, but do have a smaller ABC in that room. My concern was when casting in the garage. If something somehow caught on fire close to my pot, would my jumbo ABC cause the molten lead to adversity react? Being so new to casting, I?m trying to cover all the bases when considering safety. I?m pretty sure that I?m overthinking this to a degree, but like to be forward thinking (don?t think I?ve ever used that corporate speak phrase before : ) when it come to safety
