Hi, Larry here. I've got a reproduction "Hawkin" black powder and I need to pick up all the tooling for it- black powder, horn, "possibles bag", etc. Where's the best place to get this stuff? Thank you
Have friends who shop here, good people. They also sell real black powder.I like this shop, - The Gun Works Muzzleloading Emporium -
Getting real black is kinda've a pain these days as ATF has classed it as an explosive, which puts pretty strict limits on quantities available at most retailers (max 5lbs in a magazine!). However there are some very good, high quality black powder substitutes available, my personal favorite is american pioneer, IMHO it's better than real black, as while it produces smoke it doesn't tend to be anywhere near as corrosive as RB, and it loads gr for gr with BP. Hodgdon has triple 7 and pyrodex, both of which are totally inferior products compared to AP. T7 doesn't work unless the compression is right, and pyrodex still has all the same negative benefits of running BP. AP is a pleasure to work with, the smoke isn't as aggrivating as T7 (I think I'm allergic to it), and T7 is about 30%
Hey Guys, Making your own blackpowder is actually very very simple provided you buy a small ball mill, the lead balls to go in it for the milling. I've made really good Black powder. All you need is a place in the country to put your ball mill while you're milling. The important part is corning it into actual grains. I'd be happy to help you through this.Have friends who shop here, good people. They also sell real black powder.
