My question is: compression pucked & sifted vs wet screened to create same consistancy. AND measured out by weight to perform the same by weight. Does one perform better despite pucked is denser. And is one cleaner than the other?
@outdoorinterests3 күн бұрын
Thank you so much for the videos, we enjoy them very much. This time I think you got it wrong. Graphite slows down the burn, it does not provide added energy or improve burn rate or efficiency.

Friend, the G stands for glazed. Not Graphite. Glazing is polishing the grains of the black powder. It also knocks off the edges. which makes for quicker ignition. Some people use a brass tumbler but they don't place the black powder in the tumbler. They sit a container on top and use the vibration to separate the fines out of a sieve and cause the grains to vibrate knocking off the edges and polishing the grains against each other. Peace.

Over 50 years ago a fella in our gun club made BP which was dry greyish in color instead of the darker factory powder made by swiss or goex. I preferred using it as it seemed to ignite quicker than the factory brands. I figured it was because it did not have the glazed coating which seemed to me was there to protect it from moisture. The home made BP did collect moisture easier esp. in south Fla. On another note I was wondering how fine are your ingredients before milling. I run everything separately through a coffee mill till it is like talcum powder before weighing it. The powdered sulfer doesn't really need it as it is already quite powdery. I had not heard any of you guys mention doing that. My charcoals get an initial blending in an old vitamix blender. Takes a while for the dust to settle before you can even remove the lid.

I get very confused when trying to purify. Is all that crystalizes considered pure. When I separate the liquid and let it set it too will crystalize. I am starting with 13-0-46 granular potassium nitrate fertilizer. It all shoots quite well weather I make it with bamboo, grape , banana peel or ash. I make sure all my material for char is very dry before charing it. Pretty much the same as when I used to make "Bio-char" I was told to keep the temp at 800° for 3 hours. I do not measure or know the temp of my char for BP. I put the wood in a stainless container and lay it on or to the side of coals in my wood heater for 4-8 hours depending on how hot its running. Thanks again.

According to some, it is pure. There will always be some crystals left behind in the water. When I use to nitrate coffee filters for paper cartridges, after the water evaporated on the table I laid them out to dry, I would sweep the crystals into a glass jar to reuse later. Regarding the char making, from what you state I assume you do not alter the container to get a more even charring??. I do my charring with a gas flame during the day so that I can watch it and control the burn rate and I can rotate the can to get a more ever burn. Hope this helps alittle.

As for long mill times, Go back on this channel, and you will note I mill my powder between 24 to 30 hours. Until recently my mill process changed, I am now using a mill container with ledges or steps inside to throw the ball in stead of just rolling through the powder, and I adjusted the speed of my ball mill to turn faster. Jake sometime back mentioned that himself. It does compact quicker, but when compacted and the media is setting on top of the powder I break it all up and continue the process further.

Very Cool, Buckskinners are great folks
I have a Pietta .31 cal full steel frame and I bought a .32 cal. conversion cylinder which has a totally different safety notch which the cylinder lock rests in, at the bottom of the frame. You have play around with it a bit to find that notch. Rather a pain in the tush, but it does work. I did fire .32 cal. out of her and they performed lousy. And the front sight blade fell out it's lost. Not my favorite BP gun. .
