Smokeless powder has a burn rate, black powder explodes

Smokeless is a PROPELLENT. BP is an EXPLOSIVE That's why you can find smokeless powder sitting out on store shelves, and black powder has to be kept in a reinforced MAGAZINE

You are both wrong. Look at this video of a Musket filled to the end of the barrel with BP. Compare to what happens when they fill the whole thing with smokeless. Which would you rather have go off in a powder horn do you think? kzitem.info/news/bejne/xqRpnminj6OjqJwsi=sfa1HtHNlldv4ZIE

@robertgaudet7407 no they are right. Sont get me wrong smokless powder is more powerful than black powder but the way it burns and the effect is different. Nlackpowder is an explosvie it has to be handled differently and why most stores dont sell it or you have to buy a ton at a time, yet cabellas you can go and buy pyrodex no problem or hogdon smokless.

@robertgaudet7407 exactly. There's quite a few differences with black powder. Like smokless for example compressing the charge creates alot more pressure and you barely ever see compressed charges outside of handloads. Pretty much all commercial bullets you can shake around and they have an air gap, although in smokeless powder you do have something called flashover so even then you dont want much of a gap. With black powder that's a big nono. You need the charge compressed against the bullet so it wants to propell the bullet. If you put a charge in a barrel and don't seat the bullet down all the way and leave a big air gap you've essentially made a pipe bomb. Where in smokeless powder if you had a squib load some people will use blanks to shoot it out. The gap doesn't matter. In blackpowder the only thing you can do is either fill in small grain powder behind the ball through the vent hole which some people do but I don't recommend, or use a ball puller that screws into the lead ball and is pulled out the barrel. Black powder still gets more pressure based on the amount of compression, but usually only because more powder is filling the space and crushing up the granules into finer faster burning powder. For example I saw a test done where they took two plastic containers made for storing gunpowder. One was a bottle of black powder and one was smokless powder. These containers are made with seems to rupture easily and safely as much as possible. Both container used were the cylinder style 1lb powder containers used for smokless powder The 1lb smokless powder container was place on a fire and left untill the fire made it through the container. When the smokless powder ignited it it started to fizz and light up the same as gasoline would and after a few seconds it had all burn out and was gone leaving blackish residue on the area it burn. But it was a more controlled fuse like effect The did the same thing with the black powder container, and as soon as an ember made it through the container the whole container exploded loud as a cannon shot. Big flash big bang and plastic shards everywhere. If you had been next to the smokless powder one you would have gotten some nasty burns but you would probablly have been able to put yourself out. If you were next to the black powder one you would most likely be dead or missing a hand. There have been a few gnarly powder horn incidents out there recorded where guys plugs have fell out or they were doing idiotic stuff near a fire and ended up with bone shrapnel in them from only carrying an ounce or 2 of blackpowder

Thanks. I've been trying to tell a dude on KZitem who shoots Indian flintlocks to stop loading from his horn. So far, no luck. Can you imagine the surgeon who'd have to remove one of those shards of horn from your gut, IF you survived?

I always use a powder measure for my loads and never expose the powder load to the muzzle until I have swabbed the barrel and waited at least a minute to load. Has worked for me so far. I don't get in any rush to reload if I was in a rush I'd grab the AR instead.

Pyrodex burns slower than BP. Try using that in a powder horn.
@masonmp1889

pyrodex cant get ignited by a flintlock consistently so you still need bp for flintlocks where if you do it the old way you prime directly from the horn so... well you know

it doesn't burn slower, it has a higher ignition temp... it is a chlorate enhanced BP, except they replaced charcoal with a dextrin (similar to Sannadex)
