Is it the material that's difficult to obtain or the quantity? It's the same powder in bullets, right?Couldn't someone just purchase a box of shotgun shells and have enough BP for the small quantities for what we do?Sorry if these are stupid questions.

Anyone have any suggestions as to where I can purchase? The local gun shops in OC that I have visited only sell 2F. Will that do?Also, I haven't seen any activity on roc-chat for quite some time. I'm assuming messages are not making it into my inbox. Its not going into my spam folder either. This seems to happen every so often. I remember seeing messages that others had similar problems. Is this a message board issue?I plan on making it to the June launch. I will be launching a 4" diameter rocket on a K445. I also plan on launching a two-stage rocket (Mini Black Brandt on a Nike booster). Hopefully the motor doesn't eject out of the MBB this time...Dave Mulhollam
