I don't understand why all of this over 4F BP... again and again...
Someone here in this thread just said that gram for gram 4F is equivalent to pyrodex...
That is totally untrue / false..
Everyone in the pacific north west seem to have trouble getting 4F BP locally..
It is very easy to buy online...
You are adding way to many variables to a flight to use anything but 4F BP...
Also, some of you are flying large heavy projects...
That is definitely not where you want to start introducing variables and experimenting with what will separate the rocket at apogee...
There is a great risk of a failed flight and a lot of work and expense down the drain or worse in the name of "I couldn't get the 4F BP"...

or here you can buy 5 lbs and split it up if some of you are local to each other--

This is a fairly common topic here...
Great risk,,, zero return ( as the best you can hope for is the same successful flight as with 4F BP ),,, and no reason for this...
Buy the 4F Black Powder and enjoy jiving out the rest of your flight...
For sure,,,
if there was an aspect of rocketry that I felt was a risk of getting me really badly burned or worse,,,
I wouldn't be into rocketry...
And I am not an overly cautious person.....
