I was reading the post below on this & I'm still amased at the lack of info &
myths on this form.I did a detailed tutorial on this subject here last summer.
Guys I have spent countless hours making testing & comparing differant
home made powders against the best Swiss, & Goex ect.
It is really not that hard to make powder that out performs those.In fact
in my search I ended up in Pyro fireworks making, along with my muzzle loaders.
I have been shooting these things since the late 1970's.I would have quit
shooting them all together if I had to use the other stuff.When it became
harder to find I desided to try & make my own.
At first I was dissapointed with the performance.But after much research &
testing it's not hard at all.In fact I'm hosting a performance test at this years
PGI.
What is the PGI you say.It is the largest pyro firework competition in the world.
There is everything from rockets to home made shells as you see at the best fire work displays.
We will have a seminar on making BP with a testing session after, of the best home made powders brought from all over the US.
