Ok, thanks for the clarification guys.
I'm also going to do some checking on availability of 4F.

Richard,

I would suggest further face-to-face discussions at the playa...

A few more questions:  is it stable and are there legal limits on what someone 
can have without some special permit?  Is this another case of some California 
regulation?

RD,

4F is finer than what is used in most black powder applications.

It is not the same as what's used in modern bullets and shells which is called "gun 
powder", but it more properly Cordite(sp?).

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.

Cool. Grew up a few blocks away from there in Fullerton. CSUF alumni. Have to 
go check out Walker at their present location and see what they have. Thx.

Although I have not launched anything in years, back in the day, when they were 
on Orangethorpe in Fullerton, I bought 3 pounds from Walker 47.  As someone 
else has mentioned – it does tend to last a long time.

Have to ask the obvious question here...what is everyone else doing?? They have 
a bunch of 4F left over from Jack? Or launching rockets with less powder than 
provided with motors and stocking up? I have a real hard time believing that 
people are launching rockets every day with a limited resource of 4F...and I 
cant even get Q2G2's until September???

Not the cheapest, but delivered to your front door.  Group buy?

I had gotten mine through Jack at whats up hobbies, but I have heard that he 
doesn't come regularly anymore.

Having a difficult time locating 4F BP. 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...
