This feels like something that there should be a good primer on (pun intended, I guess) ...
So it seems like the next build I do, I'm going to try to use electronically-triggered ejection. Fun!
I don't know a ton about firearms, but I know I need black powder for the charges....but beyond that (and some neat online calculators that will show how much you ought to use)...Help!
From the bit of research I've seen it sounds like Pyrodex can or will work if it's packed tightly. That's fine, I'm OK with packing tightly. Do I need to get a LEUP for storing pyrodex?
Do I need a LEUP for black powder? What's the difference between FFFF, FFFG, etc. Which is "better"?
What about e-matches? From the wording on Apogee's site, it sounds like you need a LEUP to buy or sell them, but if you buy the kit and make them, you're OK.
Is there a good place to start researching this besides "advice on the internet"?
