With all the discussions that come up about availability of ffff BP and what to use I wondered how high on the f scale we could actually go.
I know this always becomes an issue of reliable ignition, burn times, and deployment. I also find it difficult to locate ffff. I however am a rifle shooter and have plenty of ff on hand. I have done a bunch of ground testing with a 4” Madcow frenzy with ff and each time it has worked flawlessly.
Is there any reason not to use ff for ejection if it works 100% on the ground?
I’m open to whatever abuse the forum wishes to dish out but I have yet, out of dozens of ground tests to find a reason not to use it.
Out of respect for safety at this point I have always used ffff at launches but as my supply runs low......
Science and thoughtful reasoning wanted.
