Making black powder is more complex than simply mixing the three ingredients together. This is in fact called green powder or polverone which burns slowly and inefficiently leaving lots of un-burnt solids behind. Proper black powder is mixed thoroughly to a fine powder using a ball mill or with other non-sparking grinding media.

Perchlorate black powder is a simple and unoptimized variant of Standard black powder obtained by replacing the Potassium nitrate with Potassium perchlorate. No mixtures of a fuel and Potassium perchlorate can be processed in a ball mill nor rammed via hammer. Therefore the chemicals must be as a fine powder prior to the mixing process.

Ball milling for fi ne-particle carbon blacks can be an extremely long process, perhaps as great as 48 hours, and exhibits the additional disadvantage of adding impurities from both the balls and the mill lining to the carbon black dispersion.

Black powder and its substitutes are hygroscopic, which means they absorb water, which in turn will prevent them from igniting. The theory behind leaving the gun outside or in the truck is to prevent the buildup of condensation created by bringing a cold gun into a warm room, but it ignores the fact that water exists in three states: gas

My very first ball mill - such as it was - used a few pounds of stainless steel nuts and bolts for the medium charge. Ball bearings are very good for milling. Muzzle loading balls are, also. Fishing weights work (egg weights are about the best). Marbles work. Some people (scaring me as they do it) use glass marbles to mill black powder. LLoyd

A ball mill is a grinding device that is used to turn material into fine powder. Ball mills are cylindrical in shape, and are often the grinder of choice when it comes to mashing paints, ores, ceramic materials, and certain hard chemicals. By rotating on a horizontal axis, a ball mill can effectively convert a hard material into a loose powder.

Except for very small batches, ball milling is the best way for the amateur fireworker to reduce particle size in their chemicals. With small batches of individual chemicals, some folks use electric coffee mills to grind the chemicals into fine powder. NEVER grind mixed compositions in a coffee grinder, though. To do so would be to court disaster.

Ball mills are also used for the particle size reduction of black powder, cement, fertilizer, silicates and even a variety of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Ball mills are very similar in design and operating concept to rock tumblers, which used milling media to polish rocks in a rotating cylinder.
