PH0541 POWDER TESTER

An unusual conversation piece - originals date around the 1830 and 1850 period. It tests the strength of various granulations and different production runs of black powder to learn which is the best and which is the weakest. To operate, the short barrel is loaded to the muzzle with black...

Yes. Working on insurance and company name. Who would you buy from? American Black Powder. B&M Inc. B.T.G. (better than GOEX) Black Powder.... Could use some suggestions.

Real black powder or another synthetic powder? Inquiring minds want to know.

I like “American Black Powder.” Also, if you are looking for individual shooter/people testers, PM me.

American Black Powder sounds ok.

Patriot powder

I also like American Black Powder.

I truly hope you produce a quality that rivals swiss. That would be fantastic. Or at least better than Goex, which by one of your name suggestions I assume you're planning on doing.

Also, if it's as good as Swiss or better than Goex , I don't care what you name it. I'd buy it if the price is affordable for me.

Real Black Powder..

This is good news. Now, the task of producing enough powder to help satisfy the need. Powder at a reasonable price/pound is something to be considered.

There's an old DuPont site near Wilmington, the black powder works; it's a tourist location, which I've been meaning to visit for years, esp. since I don't live that far away in PA.!

I see on line where they offer BP accessories, but not a mention of actually making BP. (?)
