I'm hoarding my real BP for flintlock pans

I try to buy as much of the Pyrodex or 777 that I can. I have a mortar and pestle I've used to "grind" coarse into fine. But you really need one made of wood to be safe. Static electricity can be dangerous believe it or not. Always work with small amounts at a time 30-50 grs. etc. About as much as you'd stand to go "poof" in your face! Obviously hand and face protection are prudent.

Heck, you can even "make" you own BP like they used to. It might be worth it to look up the methods and recipes to copy off the net before they are removed! I'd not really want to do it but it would be good to know how in a real emergency.

While I was in Colorado I picked up some black powder .. - Jim Taylor, 2021-09-30, 19:57
