Thread unlocked - did some research and from what i've found, it appears making your own black powder is legal. My apologies.

However, please remember, that this inquiry could easily be answered with a simple GOOGLE search. There are literally hundreds of sites dedicated to the home brewing of black powder. Please do your research first.

Thanks
Dan

Not really. To do anything like that you would need to find the density of each ingriedient, then you need to use the densities to compare, But posting the densities online for all to use just doesn't work. Powdered ingriedents have different densities depending on how they are packed down, particle size, etc, so if you really are too lazy to get a scale, you'll have to find the densities on your own, which in fact would probably require you to get a scale anyways!

If you can't do any Googling and you can't buy a scale, you have no business making any kind of pyrotechnics. Safety first! Thread locked.
