I made Black powder using homemade pine charcoal, its very messy job.
Its burn extremely faster but is just not the same speed that real black powder you buy in gun shops , It burns to fast to time with a stop watch, its less than a second.
So my big problems were the charcoal.
So people do you think it will burn even faster if I use willow Charcoal.
I've seen the charcoal you get in bags to make fire is very hard and fine powder if you crush it. But if you make your own charcoal its air floating and the other BB charcoal not
That's weird for me can someone explain that please for me
I'm working on 75/15/10 by the way
as far as I know pine is considered a slow charcoal to use for lift/burst, and willow is considered the best charcoal for BP allround but I have read in a few places that if you want deadly fast BP to use balsa wood.
I don't really know but thats my opinion
