In fact, the catch is unnecessary since a pre-pay arrangement to split powder is not illegal.
IIRC there was an ATF opinion that indicated such, possibly on another forum.

If given a choice, no one would want to participate in a pre-paid powder buy that included such a restrictive catch as that.
Some clubs have a powder license to supply their members with powder at a small profit.
And other clubs have an FFL to supply their members with guns at a small profit.

I see. As I have reviewed the ATF policies, it appeared that transfer to others could only be done as a sale at the time of transfer and by a licensed dealer. The policy is very sensitive to who buys it and what their intention is for its use. However, and as you and others have pointed out, a pre-pay agreement is OK. In my original statement, the (discovered unnecessary) catch was based on the need to keep the possession of the powder to a single individual to avoid the ownership transfer to another without the proper licensing. It would be no different than having your friends chip in on a keg of beer that you'd all drink together, provided each gets a rationed amount based on their contribution.

As I had said before, it's seems like more hassle than it's worth.

And just for the record, friends don't pay for beer at my house.

Arcticap - Thanks for the clarification.

Scooch and Arcticap - I don't see the hassle you refer to. Pay the guy, pick up your powder. The only difference between that and a retail buy is that you pay in advance. Kind of like what you do when you order something from a catalog or internet site. What's the 'hassle'?

Articap, I think I over complicated it in the interest of keeping it more legal than just legal or barely legal for that matter.
