I bought powder from these guys before. They were good to deal with.

I've bought a lot of stuff from them over the past few years, never disappointed.

The seller I posted, American Reloading, seems like a pretty solid company. I've bought from them a few times. Always a good experience.

The guy in the link you posted bought from Midwest Powders. Different company.

Doesn't matter anyway - sold out.

Making black powder has its own risks already so when anyone introduces any other variables like high volume case to bore ratio then the risk factor increases exponentially.
Anyone using black powder should stick to muzzleloading or straight wall cartridges with modest cowboy style action loads.

I thing it is a great skill and fun for a while and a couple proof of concept batches but if one wants to scale, when one factors the risks and controls one has to put on place to be safe, it ends up being a huge job and PITA.

Even id one achieves somewhat cleaner consistent recipe and formula, then getting the texture consistent is another huge challenge and no sane person would be turning dry powder inside a house, or close to a residential area.or anything one values.

Dont get me wrong, I think it might be ok and fun for some folks where local ordinances allow it but you know what I mean...

IMHO if you get to that trouble for just having fun at the range one may look into modern PCP/air guns that in 35 caliber and up can propel some serious loads in a way that is also economic, safe, quieter, and so much cleaner than black powder.

some moder pcp cam deliver big bore loads with spreads in the single digits, something close to impossible for black powder.

If I am given an option for long term survival between blackpowder and modern pcp will probably go with pcp other than a shotgun option but still one could do a lot more with just air and projectiles.

...just my 2 cents ..
