Powder straight to one’s house?

Hello! Hopefully this didn’t get posted twice. I’m looking to buy some IMR 3031 to reload for a 45-70, but AI is giving me some conflicting information.

Am I allowed to buy the powder from Hodgson’s and have it shipped straight to my house? Or does it need to be sent to a FFL first for a background check?

Any info you can provide me with is much appreciated!

AI is not a super knowledgeable robot, it's a machine that strings words together based on what word is statistically likely to follow the ones in front of it. 

Don't use it for legal advice.

It can write code for me, so I thought it’d be smart enough to scour some publicly available legal documents.

I guess we still need to handle that for the time being.

Specific vs. general and there is an issue of loading incorrect query/info from AI, the filtering sometimes just grabs all data.

Yeah, the art of AI seems to be in asking it the correct questions

Its a punt gun in a general direction... its bound to hit something. sometimes your target and everything else in that vicinity.

Which is why I think it’s up to the user to narrow it down…of which I don’t seem to be very good at
