15kg of powders, which includes that in loaded cartridges. I'm not sure about primers though...
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

I was always led to believe that primers were just counted in the 15kg - which could equal a lot of primers!

It's 10Kg of "shooters powders" plus a choice of other things, including another 5Kg of powder, loaded ammunition, primers etc.etc.

The guidance is badly worded, they include nitrocellulose together with black powder under the one term of "shooters powders" it really should be re-done.
