I see on line where they offer BP accessories, but not a mention of actually making BP. (?)

Just started tinkering, and will be sold under another name...leaning toward American Black Powder.

I used to pop over to Aiken from Ft. Gordon to visit an auntie when in the Army in the 60's. Beautiful area with much wealth in the horse industry!

While this one is my personal favorite, I think you are looking for some thing more modern and technical.

Seems all other brands are one word, so a one or two syllable name would be best - swiss, goex, pyrodex, 777, schuetzen, etc.

I use my 1848 3rd Model Dragoon as a powder tester, hasn't hurt it a bit. Just use a tried and true method, ball milling each ingredient helps make a uniform powder. I graphite coat my powder for more uniform powder ignition. A pistol works fine for me.

If a person had some sort of consistent medium, like wet or oiled sawdust, I wonder if the penetration of a ball fired from a pistol would give a good measure of the relative power of one batch compared to another?

It doesn’t matter what you call it, if it’s available and goes off, folks will buy it.
