what about going to a 357 mag case, do you think youd be able to get a significant difference in velocity with that little extra capacity

Hey if you have to use that in the revolution you'll be helping people learn what the founding fathers had in mind hehehe

Can you do it with 12 gauge?

when i was a kid you could go into the drug store and buy pure Sulphur and saltpeter. i made some black powder using a formula from an old chemistry book i had. i used charcoal brickettes for the carbon and the formula was 3 parts carbon, 2 parts saltpeter, 1 part sulphur as i remember it, maybe it was 3 parts saltpeter and 2 parts carbon, ( this was 60 years ago). anyway i ground it up in a small mortar and pestle and made fire crackers and one "bomb" from an empty co2 canister from a pellet gun. this stuff probably was not "sporting" quality but it was sure loud when it went off. that bomb sounded like a hand grenade. if my mother knew what i was doing she would have had a fit.

100gr... That thing's thumpin!

Hi, you guys are real close to figuring this out. Pretty bold of me right? I began making home brew in the 70’s. Your channel is the only one I’ve come across that follows the scientific method…weather you know it or not. I’m a scientist btw. Metallurgist to be exact. I teach at a college in Idaho. Anyhoo…a few years ago, when the internet was relatively new, Brush Hippy had a channel on RUclips when it was new. He came close to what I figured out in the mid nineties. He never made the final connection to making the mythical moist burning powder . It’s not a myth by the way. You guys are closer than you know. Your on the right track! Don’t let the fireworks guys knock you off course. Those guys couldn’t make rifle grade powder to save their collective ass’. Increased mill time, as you know now, defiantly improves mediocre powder. I have reams of note books over a 30 year period detailing my research. I don’t want to ruin the journey for you and your brother, but I think you guys are worth sharing info with. Ian Von Maltitz wrote Black Powder Manufacturing & Optimizing. He did an incredible amount of charcoal experiments with different woods. American plum and Paulownia won the fastest BP awards. Crack willow is right in there too. It’s about the ash, you see. Any substance with a low ash content is a candidate for superior rifle grade powder. Another publication to look into is Perils in the Powder Mills; Gunpowder and it’s Men by Anne Kelly Lane. Specifically look at Chauncey J Olds. I think y’all will find him interesting. There are other things you’ve yet to discover, but this post is too long already and I gotta hit the sack. Love watching you discover. Takes me back to my journey with fond memories. Keep seeking!!

I powder coat my cowboy load 200 grain bullets light blue an my 300 grain bullets black nice video

Not enough people question what they are told and we as society lose out on new information. I personally have always tried the opposite of what I am told I should do just to see why.

Thank you for your work and your channel. It has become my favorite RUclips channel and my flintlock and percussion lock are happier!❤

Is this pressure created by the weight that the power need to move or is it created by the lenght of the projectile and the friction it gets to squeeze it trough the lands and groves? If u would size the bullet back to .450 or .448 so it has less contact with the lands and groves of the barrel would the primer flattening look diffent? i know its been a year old now but i really wonder......What caused these pressures.......Weight or projectile lenght or combination...

Now that’s a hand cannon

5 grains is what I have always used to light off the smokeless!

For rifles, I've always loaded the smokeless on top of the black powder!

Ive been subscribed for over a year now though ill admit i haven't watched every video you've put out in that time frame. I recall a video on the whole process yall go threw on making the powder but cant find it. Can anyone point me in the right direction to that said video? Im getting terrible inconsistentant accuracy and velocities. I mill for 24 hours and all but cant figure out what im missing so i want to go back and review the process to fix my errors.

you guys are the best! Love your videos

How well do glass marbles work

You can't prime with 1F. I heard from an internet source that if you prime with 1f it's going to look like the scene from Davy Crockett and the river pirates where you have a slow burning match effect that lasts 10 minutes before the gun goes off😂😂😂

Fast is smooth, and smooth is fast, and that was just demonstrated, nice job

I just hate cleaning a Remington. Colts are so much easier to maintain.

least gun knowing american

i always heard it was best at shooting the horses out from under cavalrymen

how hot can you load a 50 cal kentucky pisto lol

Absolutely no reason NOT to use 1F for priming - but one small caveat. Occasionally, (repeat occasionally), 1F priming powder will show a slight hangfire compared to other granulations. Does it work? Absolutely. The reason for the "4F pan priming" comes from target shooters. It's a bit more consistent than other grades, and target shooters will ALWAYS opt for even minimal improvements to achieve a better score. This is true now, and was true "way back when." HOWEVER, for the majority of us who are interested in functionality, powder granulation for the pan is largely irrelevant.

Give the Kaido conicals a try when you get a chance. They're offered in 220, 240, and 255gr versions and they hit harder and penetrate deeper than anything else. A seller on Etsy machines 220gr castings into hollow points and claimed a kill on a deer at 30 yards that passed all the way through, which if true is damned impressive.

Prime it with 1F Why the fuck not 😂 love it.

WOW! Now, ain't that some shit!!!!🤣🤣

I admire your patience brother, there are so many factors to examine in different ratios, different times different materials, the quality of the materials, it's looks like the combination of lottery numbers to hit the jackpot! 👏👏🤝 Just keep going! Good and hard job always pays off!👌

You just took me back 50 years!❤😂

Outstanding

I would only expect nitric acid to purify your charcoal from minerals and leave it readily oxidizable.

Dang Jake, now you have me deciding to load my 444 Marlin with black powder!🤣👍 Would that be a 44 70?

Let's see 50/50 or 60/40 balsa and alder buckthorn. Milled 30-36 hours. :)

Wow! Talk about a hand CANNON!😂 Ouch on 25 grains!

Ty sir

Wow that is amazing never thought it would be like that

I just finished resurrecting an 1809/39 Potsdam musket. They sounds like just about the right load for it. All I need now is the correct size musket balls.

Where does your 577 Snider centerfire cartridge fit in that history? 1849 and adopted in 1866.

Im very new. But i have always bought my cannon powder. It takes 1f. Do you show how to make 1f ?

i would use it on the cylinder pin too/

👏Finally some of my knowledge did work for you brother glad you gather all your effort in one video and that's wonderful! But you forgot to mention that all ingredients must be moisture free to get great results in ball mill without clumps! Btw at last well done this is the most informative bp diy video! Keep up the good work my friend! Stay green!🤝

And the Target is?

try punk wood or fat wood next

That’s cool! I have got to learn how to make my own black powder. I have a bowling ball cannon and use 1/4 pound of goex Bp. It’s too expensive but it will shoot a 16 pound bowling ball 1/2 mile and further!

Seems to be as "fast" ignition wise as anything else. Will be very interested in seeing some numbers in comparison to your other powders

I would call that a 1775 BP

Looks what and what to me relatively the same size

Works perfectly brotha!👌🏼

What was the velocity? And was there any different in the way each of them shot?

My wife has a ceramic kiln. It takes 6+ hours to get up to temp. Your kiln is working well. Takes twice as long to cool down since your rig is well insulated. I like your experiments. They are answering questions I have had for a long time. Thanks.

Powder making = Freedom
