Outstanding article, thanks for posting it.
Nice having the add'l historical context of naval warfare events.
Ran across the article on the Internet last week. Found to be an engrossing read.

"In the beginning... the patriot is a scarce man, and brave and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot." - Mark Twain.
Interesting to see the difference between small arms smokeless and artillery compositions.
A couple there would be interesting to try for small arms as they are simpler to make and source on an ongoing basis. I knew they were used, but not in such a great percentage of the powder.
Thanks for posting.
