I'm not sure why we don't have a black powder section on the board, or why we don't at least have a thread going in this section.

Is anyone making their own black powder?

Anyone casting their own bullets?

I'm sitting on 10+lbs of Black MZ which I picked up awhile back pretty cheap. I've also got a bit of Goex (FF) and some other stuff on the shelf. The Black MZ is supposedly no longer being made, and with BP prices currently, I can't help but wonder if the time involved with making my own BP is worth it. Then again, it does sound like an incredibly fun project.


I'll post a few pics.

This first one is a reproduction Remington 1858 being fired.
