Gunpowder was made from urine during the Civil War

Worth listening to just for the poem!

Supply chain issues have been an ongoing discussion for the past year. Every 1-2 months I see another article on the backlog of ships off the California coast waiting to unload.

An all-time high of 56 cargo ships are stuck waiting off the California coast, as shipping ports hit their 4th record backup in three weeks

The labor shortage, COVID-19, and holiday-buying surges are causing shipping disruptions and delays at two of the most important ports in the US.

I've still got plenty of reloaded rifle ammo containing IMR powder charges. But for future, I've down-sized and reduced my stocks of components. Due to commonality issues, I've settled on ball powders for my gas gun loads. Mostly BL-C(2), some 748 and H335. I actually prefer IMR powders, the modern versions burn so cleanly. But the ball powders meter better. I've got enough to last me out the rest of my days.
