No, I don't but we beat the topic to death about a year ago here so there's probably a record of it. The take away point was that if you had anything over 18lbs you had to register with the ATF, i.e. it's legal to have over 18lbs but you have to register.
I think most of us found that we had exactly 17.5lbs.
Internet consensus? Fucking Seriously.....
I have NEVER heard of registering with the ATF for smokeless powder, much less over 18lb.
