    It may be Swiss in velocity, but it's cleaner than Swiss and it has only half the velocity spread. The SD on that is astounding.

    I have a memory from when I was a young man of a cloister of monks that made black powder. They had a water-powered mill, that they let run for a considerable amount of time, because the saltpeter came from manure add naturally had some bedding mixed with it that took extra time to grind up.
    And then mixed it with water, and put it in some sort of container and put a rock on top of it. The image I have in my memory is of a cylindrical shape that resulted in the press. It was then allowed to dry. They then ground it, sifted, and packaged for sale. Whatever was too small they would add to the next batch with the water.
    This whole process took 6 days. So their mill ran for 7 Days(no work on Sunday).
    I have no memory on the drying time. And I think the location was in southern France or Eastern Spain and one of the little principalities that are still independent today. I think the story is about why this particular place is still independent today, and how important does powder was!

    I watched a video recently where the guy pointed out that Black Powder is essentially just burning charcoal really really fast. It makes sense that less dense woods and longer milling times help make it burn faster. As the particles of charcoal would be broken down easier and finer with the nitrate mixed in even better. I'd be really curious to see a harder wood known to not make good charcoal for BP under a microscope after the same milling time as a wood like balsa.
    Like the bamboo which improved greatly from a longer milling time. I really wonder if the ball mill just can't break the particles down on denser charcoals quickly.

    If there is one thing ive learned in my time doing gun stuff, it is that sometimes you get weird, unexpected results that dont make much sense. Perhaps try the 24 hour mill time and see if that gives a high 1600 number. Then we know it was mill time. If we still get swiss velocities, we know it is the charcoal combination for some reason increasing velocities.

  • @deandeann1541

    I tried mixing good black powder with pulverone, which is about half the density of regular black powder and useless for cap and ball - but I was low on bp and had no use for the pulverone (which is a simple to make black powder used in some fireworks). By volume the mix was maybe 20% good powder. Surprisingly, the pulverone upon mixing became good enough to use - not good, but good enough to plink with.
    I think that what is going on is the good powder is acting as an igniter and booster for the bad powder and the speed of ignition and burning of the bad powder goes way up, which gives better than expected results.
    I think the improvement will be more pronounced in rifles.
    Anyway, what I found is you do not need 50% good powder to get a usable improvement, you can get by on quite a bit less than that.
    Pulverone powder on its own is completely unusable in cap and ball revolvers but can be used in a pinch in rifles or muskets if you at least double the volume of the charge.

  • @joearledge
    @joearledge 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Glad to see the mixed stuff did well. Seems like the benefit is the ability to stretch out your balsa supply without sacrificing cleanliness or velocity. As always, this opens up a whole new can off worms for testing. First I'd say you need to test just balsa at 30 hours, and just cottonwood at 30 hours, to see if it was the mill time or the mixing that made the improvement. Then there's testing how little balsa you can use before the velocity starts to suffer or the fouling increases. And of course, the endless mountain of carbon mix combinations. If you guys get 2000 fps with 50gr for 5 shots and pull out a white patch, it's time to start your own powder company.

    The cottonelle video has had me thinking about why it performed so well. I would think that the wood used was probably not the best source for bp, but of course I don’t know that for sure. I would think it’s more to do with the process it goes through. I’ve not made a lot of bp, but when I did I used willow because I figured it was my best option here in east Texas and it’s readily available. My thought is if it’s the process that makes the tp work so well, what about trying to do something similar with, say willow( or anything really) Let it “age” or degrade to a lighter pithier product to somewhat mimic the tp process then char it and see how it compares to the cottonelle. y’all are the best bp channel out there!

    Hey Jake, have you ever substituted a small percentage of your charcoal with aluminum powder? For example instead of the typical 77(KNO3)/13(C)/10(S), you can replace 5% of the carbon with aluminum which gives you 77(KNO3)/8(C)/5(Al)/10(S). I would really like to see the results. I also asked before if you ever used a small bit of strontium nitrate for your black powder. That would also be a cool video idea.

      In the 90s, I hauled a load of aluminum powder. It was packaged in big carboys that were picked up with a forklift. It was used in bombs at that time.

    what is the limit of milling time where you get no more benefit? great videos keep them coming!

      So far I haven’t milled anything beyond 72 hours and it just gets better

    I'm very curious, I did it some time ago and it gave me excellent results.

    That's some great powder. By the way a month after you guys posted this video, you get a kameltoe harris commercial.

    It seems that milling time reduces velocity differences between charcoal sources as that mill time increases beyond 24hours. Would that be correct?
    Your painstaking work is saving us all a lot of time and effort out here.... Thanks... 🙂

    • @Everythingblackpowder
      @Everythingblackpowder  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It sure seems that way. I think it has to do with the density and hardness of the charcoal and how easily it’s incorporated with the kno3

    So Jake, this milling longer thing seems like it could potentially be a revelation. Dont know how much testing you have done but are you thinking game changer, or is there info im missing?
