Anyone tried using NH4NO3 85% with 15% charcoal?
It should be vastly superior to BP with twice as much gas being produced
It smells foul and is lit with great difficulty, burning very slowly. How do I make it burn as fast as nitrocellulose?
Gun propellant

PanMaster - nice avatar, but could you please make it a bit smaller. The size of mine is what they *should* be.
With the NH4NO3 - if you are using pure stuff, then you will get a lot further. If you are trying with impure, fertiliser grade, then I dont think you will get anywhere. Pure, even 'Technical' grade isn't really hydroscopic, its only the impurities in the other grades that make it so unuseable.
