Looking back to how my step dad help me load my 45 cal rifle it should have let lose. I was a stout 12 years old. We added powder a little more and a little more. Then the paper. More then half of the ram rod stuck out. It was amazing! threw me on my butt and a ten foot flame !
My uncle had a story of when he was young and made some powder. He just mixed it and no milling or liquid so it did not work. He lit a whole coffee can full and it just fizzled.
Their is another website with over 300 pages in tips on making fast clean powder.
Skylighter has a sale. Buy a kit get a free how to book on the manufacturer of black powder.
Those kits are kinda on the expensive side also the charcoal is only good for fireworks. It makes slow dirty powder.
It is not crazy to make your own powder just be careful.
