How much is flash paper per pound? Cheaper than smokeless powder?
Why risk blowing up when using regular powders for fire forming is well known.
I'm thinking the OP is talking about forming paper cartridges...

I use TrueWave end papers with good results. I have heard of people using flash paper, but I don't remember the results.
Looking at Amazon, it seems expensive comparatively. Flash paper was the original standard back in the day. Nitrated paper is more stable than flash paper and you can make it yourself or purchase it. I've made nitrated paper but never went the flash paper route due to stability concerns.Originally Posted by Echo#154

Potassium nitrated paper has one advantage over flash paper: it's much easier and safer to make. Nitric and sulphuric acids are not something a novice should play with. Flash paper is also rumoured to spontaneously ignite.

I was just curious? I have not tried to make nitrated paper. When I was thinking about making the paper for some reason the flash paper came to my mind.
