Whats not to like about any of the things in the title
It's been a long time since I've done any type of dabbling into anything related to this, particularly in making black powder. I guess growing and proccessing my baccy and all the beekeeping stuff gives me little time to indulge in this fond pass time.
I've dug out my ball mill and have it rolling with 50g of kno3 switching out every hour. It's slow until I can get a bigger ball mill. Tomorrow i'll start on the charcoal. I got my sulfur from the garden shop.
I use BP to make chinese fuse, rockets, mortar lift, and burst shells. Once I get my BP rifle, I'll use it in that too. I recently found out that it's legal to fire canons (no projectile, blanks) here in canada so I sourced out some steel and going to make one at some point. the amount of powder I could go through with all this would cost a lot to purchase here in canada but by making my own, I can make 50+lbs for the cost of a 1lb can of powder out of the gun shop.
The recipe I use is ......
I thought I might as well post this since I'm getting back into it, maybe there's others on here that dabble in making there own powder and fireworks.
