Excerpt from Shooting Notes and Comments: A Book Containing Matters of Interest to Sportsmen
Black gunpowder is not a chemical compound, but is a mixture of three materials, which, however well mixed, never combine or change their original properties. Con sequently the manufacture, though dangerous, is simple, as is shown many times in history; the Chinese, the Spaniards in Peru, the Arabs in Morocco today, allhaving manufactured it when pressed by need. The finished powder is absurdly simple to load. The only essential thing is to see that all the cartridges have an exactly similar charge of powder and the results, speak ing broadly, will be identical.
