    Black powder BOOM

    There were flecks and residue all inside the tube and around the connections and when one went of it all interconnected and travelled by heat and fire up tube and all around the connection to the main powder. Just a fluke Murphy's law in action.

    Black powder BOOM

    Flask had about 1/4 black in it made quite a splash. Here boys I know you like pics so there is an example of Murphy at his best. There were also around 30 rounds of paper cartridges that vanished leaving on balls in the box. So TAKE CARE with black.

    Black powder BOOM

    By the way those little flecks of Black can be dug out or pricked out with a nice small needle. I know I have picked a couple of them out. Enjoy the shooting life. If you are cheap and bother saving them they still shoot lololol

    Rolling papers for combustible cartridges?
