Make your own, it cheaper that any you can buy. Under $5 a LB.

Omg the hysteria that would create around my parts.
I can see the headlines now "local man gaoled for making explosives"
A few words about terror and "the gun lobby" just to reinforce the fear.

buy decent quantity and its way under two bucks a pound (if you make your own charcoal)
(Greenhouse grade KNO3 from the farm supply - 99% pure - soluble - cheap)

I wouldn't leave gods country just to be allowed to make BP. There are many more good things than bad down under.

No, no, no I don't mean leave Aussie land just relocate to a more tolerant or rural locale down under. I've been "out in the county" most of the time since graduation from college. More and more folks relocating here from such places as Dallas and California to get away from excess government and the PC police. Hell, I'm looking at moving West from here due to urban growth.
Good luck.

Im lucky that I live in the country and can break out the BP firearms at will. But actually making the stuff would draw much unwanted attention from constabulary. Well maybe not so much making it as buying the materials.

So, you can buy black powder..........but you can't legally make it?

[SSGOldfart]

I've made it three or four times,still have a few pounds of my best on hand. Remember that safety most come first.... I'm staying away from blasting grade in my guns., I once worked packing blasting holes on a road project, that stuff isn't as stable as sporting grade.
Also if you start milling black powder it not "if ",
"it's when your mill burns down"
Be safe and enjoy the holy Black.

AFIK blasting powder is made from sodium nitrate. It is quite hygroscopic and poor for use in guns. Keep that for making blueing salts and use potassium nitrate for gunpowder.
