Why isn't more smokeless powder produced domestically?

From what I understand most powder is produced in Canada, Europe and Australia. The only company I can find producing powder in the US is St Marks Powder which is owned by defense contractor General Dynamics.

Because most of those countries are in Asia.

Can I just buy a bunch of those bottles and crimp on a really big bullet to the opened end cap?

What? Canada is in the Americas, Europe is, well, Europe and Australia, while "technically" Asia, is in the extended Australasia, but at continents go, is its own one.

A few years ago, my buddy bought a set of these glasses for his place. I liked them enough that I bought myself a set a couple months later. His were made in China. Mine were made in Spain.

The only place without a living wage in Canada is Alberta and that's because the east neutered us.

Theoretically, yes

No. Besides the shitpost, you are missing a primer and the burn rate would have to be slow as fuck to even have a proper pressure curve....which doesnt matter because its a plastic container. If youve ever seen a bullet detonate outside of a chamber its basically just a case head pop as the powder at the bottom blows the bottom half of the case off sending metal frag and still burning powder everywhere. At best you get a large and ineffective pseudo pipe bomb.

You need to think of the bigger picture

>Make a new ".50 1lb of IMR 4064" caliber
>Ships regular ORD-M instead of Hazmat

Next stop: Creating new chambering which uses exclusively primers as powder
Or, alternatively, a chambering which consists of 50 primers in a tray which somehow swages down to a bullet.
