It would be best to check your local and state laws to be sure, but it islegal to do so for your own use with out a licence in most states. Also A very good idea to check with your insurance company. Some will not cover you if you have than 5 pounds. Goex powder website and the National muzzle loading rifle association website have information and contacts that will help.

Black Powder Permits are issued to owners of muzzleloading firearms and is needed for the transportation and storage thereof. An application is made to the Chief Inspector of Explosives and must include a copy of your identity document, a valid firearm licence, a letter from a gunsmith certifying that the weapon it is required for is indeed a muzzleloader and that it can only use black powder. From 10 January 2011 you will further need a Black Powder Competency Certificate. If you do not possess a valid firearms licence you will have to submit your fingerprints for a valid police clearance sertificate. Applications may be made at any of the SAPS stations where an office of the Inspector of Explosives is situated.

Is it legeal to make homemade explosives?

That depends on where you are and what kind of explosives you make. The ATF redefined the word 'explosives" last year to include several products that were not previously considered explosives. In many places you can make your own black powder, rocket propellants and fuse. Some more powerful "explosives" can be made in very small quantities for use in fireworks, but there are restrictions on the storage of explosives. For more detailed and up to date rules, go to atf.gov.
