This popular book, "Homemade Guns and Homemade Ammo" by Ronald Brown was posted on a thread about white powder.
At the beginning of the book the author states, "This book will tell you how to make guns, gunpowder and primers from common materials. No knowledge of chemistry is necessary. Nor is a fancy machine shop, Ordinary hand tools will do."

The poster stated that the book "suggests using potassium chlorate and sugar, equal measures mixed together dry for a black powder substitute which he rates on a scale of 1-5 as a 5 versus the 5 other white powder recipes he had in the book.....The original author recommended a half teaspoon of this powder for an ounce of #6 shot in a
12 gauge shell. He also warned that all of the white powder recipes in his book were hygroscopic (corrosive) and would lose potency if exposed to high humidity or open air." --->>> http://castboolits.gunloads.com/sho...owder-recipe&p=4943761&viewfull=1#post4943761
Here's the actual excerpt from the book.
The book is also available in other formats and from different websites, including as a PDF.
