    I love fireworks and all forms of boom.
    PEOPLE setting off shit in the early AM is a people problem, not a fireworks problem.

    I will be around for plenty of fireworks this 4th, and will bring out the golf ball cannon as well as some binary stuff.

    What grade of BP do you use for the golf ball cannon (for the ball and for blanks) ?.

    FFG for the most part. I have used FFFG, but probably shouldn't have
    Going to start making my own soon, once I actually get the ball mill. Have the ingredients here.

    Never done blanks though

    I always used cannon grade BP which is MUCH more coarse than even FG. Blank loads take about half of the amount of powder of ball loads. Enjoy it while you still can as one of these days our famous Government will insist all BP must be purchased like dynamite and other such controlled materials.

    For sure.
    Izzy got me the cannon because the one I cobbled together before IS SKETCHY. I picked up some components from skylighter and will make powder more coarse than what I have now. Just need to get to it.
